The Southwest Michigan Association of Realtors is once again holding a Suitcases for Kids campaign. The annual drive collects items for kids in the foster care system. Chair Angela Nutto tells us they look for common things a child might need after suddenly finding him or herself in a new situation.

“Most children move several times in foster care,” Nutto said. “So, as they’re moving they need items they can take from home to home. Blankets, backpacks, underwear, socks, other things that we sometimes don’t even think about.”

Real estate offices all over Berrien, Cass, and Van Buren counties will take items from anyone who wants to give through September 30. They also take cash. All items and money are given to the local county’s department of human services. Below is a list of those participating.
