The 10th annual (2025) be homeful for the holidays campaign was our best year yet! Each year, we partner with the CT Coalition to End Homelessness to raise emergency assistance funding to keep children and families safe at home and from having to enter a homeless shelter. This year, thanks to our extremely generous donors, we were able to raise $65,379! We are so grateful to our “village” of members, local Boards, local Board Foundations, MLSs, real estate firms and members of the public. And with the constant support of Daley Moving & Storage donating a truck/driver and the assistance our local Boards, we delivered more than 1,900 plush Paddington bears, Paddington chime balls, backpacks and Paddington books to 31 homeless organizations/shelters across the state with the Foundation’s sponsorship of these gifts. CT REALTORS Care!
