Our association cares about the communities we call "home," and work on a variety of community outreach projects throughout the year! Working through our Community Outreach and Benevolence Committee and various other member activities, the association participates in multiple food drives, Habitat home builds and more. Some of our annually recurring events include:
Drive Out Hunger Food Drive
Together with the Hardee County postal workers, we served at the Hardee Help Center by collecting and participating in the unloading and storing of food. This year's members collected just under 100 pounds of food to contribute, along with the physical support or preparing the help center, all to help feed our community!
School Supplies Drive
The Community Outreach and Benevolence Committee organized a school supply drive for the start of 2019-2020 school year. They invited all REALTOR® members and affiliates to participate. The results were fantastic, with stocked backpacks going to ten elementary schools in the county.
Annual Habitat for Humanity House Build
This has been a popular activity with REALTORS® for the past several years. REALTORS® have participated with installing a roof on one house and putting up walls on two other houses. The REALTOR® volunteers make good construction crews and are welcomed enthusiastically by the Habitat project managers. Perhaps, because we know houses so well?
