The Dewitt Tilton Group, a commercial and industrial construction firm, is continuing its annual tradition of supporting the Backpacks of Love program. This nonprofit organization is dedicated to eliminating hunger among school-age children in Bryan County, Georgia. The Dewitt Tilton Group is generously donating $2,000 to fund Christmas dinner packages for the students in need. For the fifth year in a row, the team members of the Dewitt Tilton Group will volunteer their time to help pack these Christmas boxes.

The presentation of the donation will take place on Wednesday, Dec. 13, at 10 a.m. at New Beginnings Community Church in Richmond Hill, located at 75 Crosswind Dr. Members of the Dewitt Tilton Group will not only contribute financially but will also roll up their sleeves to assemble the Christmas dinner packages for the students.

These packages will include ham, turkey, canned fruits and vegetables, and other shelf-stable food items to ensure a complete and nutritious holiday meal.

Backpacks of Love was founded in 2013 with the goal of sending at-risk and potentially hungry schoolchildren in Bryan County home with packages of nutritious food each Friday and before extended school breaks. This program is made possible through a partnership between the United Way of the Coastal Empire and the New Beginnings Community Church. Donations from individuals, organizations and businesses such as the Dewitt Tilton Group play a crucial role in strengthening this effort.
