GAAR has kicked off its Annual Backpack drive and we need YOUR help!  

APS Title 1 Homeless Project anticipates that 550 elementary, middle and high school students will need backpacks this fall. The Project provides basic services, as well as education to help keep these children in school.

REALTORS® and Affiliates can help by donating new backpacks or online through the member portal until Friday, August 2nd. Every $5 you give, purchases a backpack for a child in need.
