DALLAS--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Pillar Income Asset Management and Transcontinental Realty Investors held their third annual “Back to School” supplies donation event in support of Single Parent Advocate organization of Dallas Texas.
Employees again donated various school supply items and backpacks in response to the organization’s annual backpack giveaway. However, “This year was even better than the last,” said Chris Childress Director of Human Resources. “Several of our employees volunteered to provide handwritten notes for each of the kids. Giving each child an extra word of encouragement for the new school year really made our participation even more meaningful.”
“Pillar stepped up again this year, and donated all 75 clear backpacks needed to meet our donation goals,” said Stacie Poythress, Single Parent Advocate’s Founder and President. “They also donated the use of an office suite to stage our donations and distribute backpacks. We’re so very thankful for Pillar’s continued support.”
Single Parent Advocate is a non-profit organization committed to educating, equipping and empowering single parents with resources, practical assistance, emotional encouragement and social networking to better their lives, and those of their children. We are truly blessed to have a growing base of volunteers who selflessly and passionately possess the desire to help single parent families in need.
