eVestment employees at the company’s Perimeter Center headquarters bought and filled with school supplies 102 backpacks this week for North Fulton Community Charities (NFCC). The backpacks will be distributed to needy children from kindergarten through 12th grade in the north Atlanta area who are heading back to school.

School supplies collected, in addition to the backpacks, included markers and highlighters, pens and pencils, notebooks, pocket folders, jump drives, glue sticks and paper.

NFCC is a non-profit human service agency dedicated to preventing homelessness of individuals residing in Alpharetta, Johns Creek, Milton, Mountain Park and Roswell, Ga. NFCC assists families with basic needs such as food, rent and utilities, clothing and adult education classes.

About 50 employees from eVestment’s Atlanta headquarters donated backpacks and supplies stuffed the bags with the supplies before they were delivered to NFCC.
