Last year our Association organized a program to help our own members. The mission is to assist members during hardship brought on by the unforeseen burdens that may hinder our lives from time to time. It is through these efforts that we may enrich the human experience with hope, strength and support for our fellow colleagues.
The Angel Committee has been working very hard to put together a list of
Humboldt Association of Realtor member volunteers interested in assisting other members in their time of need. They started a "food drive" from now until September 30th. They are collecting non-perishable food items to have ready for upcoming emergency situations. There is a collection barrel set up at the Association office, just stop by and drop off between the hours of 8am and 4 pm Monday through Friday.
To be eligible you must be a member of HAR, a members spouse or a child residing in the home under the age of 18. The types of services available: Transportation, Meals, organized volunteer assistance, babysitting, gardening, handyman services, animalcare, etc...
The categories for support: Animal care, babysitting, companionship, errands, gardening, handyman, housecleaning, housesitting, meals, shopping, supplying housing in emergency situations, transportation or monetary donations.
I am proud to be a part of an organization that will do whatever it takes to ease the burden of a hardship for our members.
John sounds great can you send me some information so that we can maybe get a program started here on the east coast.
Larry- I'll send you some info tomorrow if that's ok. So far, we have helped 5 Realtor families in their time of need!
What a great idea. GLVAR (Greater Las Vegas Association) gives back in many ways also. At least our dues go for something good!
Mary- Amen sister! I've heard alot of great things about you guys over yonder!
John, that is great! We do something similar we have our monthly board luncheon where we pass around a lunchbox and members donate "lunch money" that is used for various things. This coming month we will buy backpacks and school supplies for children that can't afford them otherwise. There are Angel Realtors all over the place!
Tony and Darcy- Fantastic idea! wow! now that's motivating! I would love to implement something like that not only thru our Association, I would love to give it a try with my Kiwanis Club!
