Last year, on July 31, Agape provided backpacks filled with school supplies for more than 1,900 children! This was made possible with the help of 100 plus volunteers who organized and executed the event. Volunteer teams from Argos, The Atlanta Women’s Foundation, N3, The National Charity League–Buckhead Chapter, Novelis, Peachtree Road United Methodist Church, Regions Bank, Trinity Presbyterian Church, UPS, Wells Fargo and The Zeist Company worked on this year’s give-away.
