KOSCIUSKO — With the 2018-2019 school year about to begin, the Kosciusko Board of REALTORS once again reached out to Combined Community Services to provide local children with back-to-school backpacks loaded with all their needed school supplies.

This year, KBOR provided filled backpacks along with Shoe Carnival and Great Clips gift cards to 25 Kosciusko County students to assure they are ready for the start of school.

As KBOR celebrates its 70th anniversary as an association in 2018, REALTORS and their affiliate members are even more committed to helping build strong communities by giving back to the market in which they work and do business.

KBOR was proud to partner with Sabrina Phillips, director of self-sufficiency, and the CCS staff for the fifth year and hope the school supplies will benefit these children throughout their school year.
