Realtors Do More Than Sell Homes; They Build Community!

The Northern Virginia Association of Realtors (NVAR) has been a long-time supporter of United Community for many years. Established in 1921, NVAR is one of the largest real estate associations in the country, with more than 13,000 members. On Friday, eleven of those members came to Fordson Rd to give back to their community, as part of the NVAR Cares Initiative.

“NVAR Cares is about making an impact in the community and give back,” NVAR member Mary Ann Bernstein explained. “That’s exactly what United Community does, every day. So we’re excited to help out and be a part of this”.

Led by NVAR President, Christine Richardson, the NVAR Cares Volunteers sorted and prepared food bundles for dozens of hungry families. The “Commodities Bagging” service project happens every third Friday of each month, thanks to a partnership with the USDA and Capital Area Food Bank.

The NVAR members made quick work of the project. Within two hours, the group filled more than four shopping carts with food.

“United Community has been one of our benefactors for many, many years,” Richardson said. “From collecting donations to participating in service projects – supporting United Community is something we deeply care about.”

NVAR Cares is hosting a special “Party for a Purpose” event at the Carlyle Club on November 6th. All proceeds will be donated to local non-profits, including United Community. For more information, visit their website.
