MCAR has a long-standing tradition of giving back to the community where its members live and work. In fact, over the years, MCAR has donated thousands of dollars and time to these local programs.
“Family Services is a natural fit for MCAR’s charitable endeavors. The Realtors of Montgomery County are proud community residents, employers and employees and have a vested interest in providing time and resources to agencies that enhance
their community,” said Suzanne Kunda, 2018 MCAR president.
In 2017, 25 offices participated in the coat drive, resulting in 35 large moving boxes containing more than 1,000 winter coats for infants through adults.
Gail Fusco, MCAR chief executive officer, said, “We’re so proud to be able to participate in programs like these that have direct, positive impacts on our community. It’s what keeps us coming back to do more.”
