Loudoun County Rebuilding Together
It always feels good to give back to the community :) We had a great time this past weekend. The following is our official release to the public:
REALTORS® IN ACTION: DAAR MEMBERS HELP LOUDOUN FAMILY- REBUILDING TOGETHER
For the sixteenth consecutive year, the Dulles Area Association of REALTORS® (DAAR) sponsored a Loudoun County Rebuilding Together/Christmas in April project to help an area family make improvements to their home.
More than 30 volunteers donated one day on Saturday, April 26th, to rehabilitate the home of a family in need. “REALTORS®, clients and their affiliates worked side by side to make a difference and bring some joy into the life of a local family.” according to Sue Puleo, volunteer coordinator of the project. This year’s project took place at a home near Bluemont, Virginia.
REALTORS®, DAAR Affiliate members and local area businesses landscaped, installed handicap accessible bathroom fixtures, made kitchen and porch repairs, and cleaned up a home in Loudoun County. DAAR extends a special thank you to project captain Kirk Arant of Arant Construction in Sterling and Mike Furr of F&L Plumbing Services in Leesburg for donating many of the skilled hours.
“REALTORS® care about making their communities strong and vibrant,” said Candice Bower, 2008 DAAR Chairman of the Board. “Rebuilding Together is just one example of REALTORS® making positive contributions together for their community.”
Loudoun County Rebuilding Together (www.rebuildingtogether.org) formerly Christmas in April, is a non-profit volunteer organization that works in partnership with local sponsors and volunteer groups to repair and renovate the homes of low-income elderly, disabled, and families with children. There is no cost to qualified homeowners for the services provided. Since 1991, they have repaired and rehabilitated nearly 225 homes in the Loudoun County area.
