Please help us support Local Food Banks!
July 12-23

Many children go hungry each summer after their school-provided free and reduced lunches end, so families turn to local food bans. Please join me and Coldwell Banker Realty as we help meet this increased need by collecting and donating healthy packaged food.

You can lend a hand by reaching out to me and I will pick up your donation, visiting a Coldwell Banker® office or open house event June 21 - 26, and making a donation of non-perishable food items. Or, make a monetary donation.

Thank you for your support. Together, we’re making a difference!
