FOOD DRIVE
An annual food drive is sponsored by the REALTORS to assist in mid year inventory for our local pantries. REALTORS take shifts at local grocery stores to encourage and accept items from consumers shopping that day. The food is then transferred to the local pantries later that day. This brings both the REALTOR Community and the public together to help those in our neighborhoods.
HABITAT FOR HUMANITY
As REALTORS, our primary focus housing and private property rights. We encourage our members to work on Habitat Builds in our counties to ensure housing is available for those who need and desire to own their own home. Additionally, our members contribute to fundraisers that help with the costs of those builds.
