“Take a Sip for TRIP is a great opportunity for people of all ages to connect with leaders in the home buying industry while having fun! TRIP and RCHR staff work incredibly hard every day creating pathways to homeownership,” said Executive Director Christine Nealon. “Come support this work while sipping
NYS beverages and eating delicious food.”
All proceeds from this event will support the TRIP/ RCHR NeighborWorks Homeownership Center, which connects individuals and families with resources and knowledge to live in desirable homes and create vibrant sustainable communities.
TRIP, founded in 1963, is celebrating 50 years of building com-
munity and has been the source for education and support for families striving to achieve the dream of homeownership. From its pre-purchase education programs and foreclosure prevention services to its post-purchase home maintenance courses and grant assistance, TRIP is focused on making sustainable homeownership a reality. In the process, blocks, neighborhoods and com-
munities have been transformed.
