YES Communities announced a contest that will donate fifty $100 Staples gift cards to YES residents’ children to help cover the cost of school supplies for the year. The contest was developed to ensure that our residents’ children will have the basic resources to have a successful school year.

This contest comes in response to the financial strain that the coronavirus might have caused families in our communities over the past year. This donation is supplied by the YES Communities charitable program, YES We Care.

“The children in our communities are our next generation, and we want to help them have a successful year of learning by providing funds for vital supplies they may need. Many of our communities provide tutoring centers and programs, such as The Path Project, that offer additional resources to support our kids and adults in the community,” said Karen Hamilton, COO of YES Communities. “In addition, we sponsor our annual Building Futures Scholarship Program that awards residents with continued education funds.”

The Back to School contest is open to YES Communities residents’ children. For more information and to apply, visit https://www.yescommunities.com/
