Suitcases for Kids

By
Real Estate Agent with The Residential Group

The Suitcases for Kids program was established by the NATIONAL ASSOCIATION OF REALTORS® and are asking all Associations to participate.  The program collects suitcases and donates them to kids that are in foster care and do not have a suitcase to carry their belongings from one home to another.

Most foster children carry their belongings in black garbage bags as they move from home to home.  Each child averages 7 moves while in foster care. 

The Fayetteville Association of Realtors Public Relations Committee will be collecting new or "gently" used suitcases at the May 19th Luncheon.  We will also be collecting toiletry items such as toothbrushes, toothpaste, shampoo, conditioner, soap, deodorant, shaving kits, etc.  These items can be placed into a Ziploc bag.  Please help support this cause.  These children need to know someone cares.  

This is a reprint of an email sent from the Fayetteville Association of Realtors. I am reprinting this in hopes of reaching Realtors who may inadvertently delete their emails or have forgotten about the event. I realize that times are hard for a lot of us, but if it is at all possible to donate to this cause please do so. If you don't want to have lunch, feel free to drop off your items. If time is an issue I would be more than happy to pick up your donation. Feel free to call me at 910-578-2359 or email me at specialtylisa@gmail.com. Thanks for your time and consideration.
