School is Cool backpack drive
Through July 31: The DeKalb Area Association of REALTORS is sponsoring its fifth annual “School is Cool” backpack drive. The group collected more than 200 backpacks for children in 2007. This year, backpacks will be divided and disbursed to the DeKalb Salvation Army, the Federated Church in Sycamore, Hand-in-Hand in Rochelle, and Genoa-Kingston-Kirkland Food Pantries. They will distribute the backpacks to qualifying children. The backpack drive runs through July 31. Donations can be dropped off at any local real estate office or at DAAR, 1430 DeKalb Ave. , Sycamore. This drive is just one of the ways DAAR gives back to the community. It also has an annual “Gift from the Heart” Food Drive in February and the Community Donation Program, where the group donated $100 per month to a specific entity within the community to use as they see fit.
