Greater Moncton Realtors donated more than $21,000 to community causes in 2014.
“We survey our members every year to find out what local causes they want to support and this year it was very apparent that the local Realtors felt there was a real need to provide food and safe shelter to a wide variety of the Greater Moncton citizens,” says president Ricky Cormier.
Among support recipients were Crossroads for Women, Breakfast for Learning Programs in both the Anglophone East and Francophone Sud districts and Harvest House.
“Some of our fundraising partners have large projects, like the remodel of a newly acquired house to assist women and children at Crossroads for Women. Others are utilizing the funds for ongoing activities; things like making sure children have food in their bellies to help them learn,” says Cormier.

The association also raised funds at their annual holiday get together to buy Christmas turkeys for people in need.
A group of Moncton members delivered the bounty to the Sue Stultz Turkey Drive at the local fire station. Over 500 pounds of turkey were delivered, which will feed more than 50 families.
