NC REALTORS® Gives Back Week 2025: REALTORS® Across the State Step Up to Serve

Each spring, REALTORS® from all corners of North Carolina come together for NC REALTORS® Gives Back Week—a dedicated time to serve, support, and show love to their local communities. What started in 2019 as a project from the William C. Bass Leadership Academy has since grown into a signature outreach effort led by the NC REALTORS® Housing Foundation.

In 2025, NC REALTORS® Gives Back Week aligned with NAR’s REALTOR® Volunteer Days, held May 10–18. This partnership provided a full week of volunteer opportunities for REALTOR® members to make a real difference—whether by lending a hand in a neighborhood park, preparing meals for families in need, or delivering essential items to local shelters and food banks.

Here’s a look at some of the incredible projects that took place across the state:

Local Highlights from Gives Back Week

Durham Regional Association of REALTORS®

REALTORS® with the Durham Regional Association’s Community Service Committee visited the Durham Ronald McDonald House to serve a hot, homemade meal to families facing serious medical challenges. Their presence brought not just food, but comfort and encouragement to those going through difficult times.

EPP – Richmond County Real Estate

In Richmond County, EPP REALTORS® delivered Hygiene Bags to Our Daily Bread food bank. These bags—filled with toiletries and everyday essentials—provided much-needed support to individuals and families who visit the food bank regularly. This act of service highlighted the importance of small gestures that carry big meaning.

Greensboro Regional REALTORS® Association

On May 3, members of the Greensboro Regional REALTORS® Community Service Committee met at Mitchell Street Park for a park cleanup project. Clearing litter, sprucing up green spaces, and improving the area for local families, these volunteers gave their time and energy to help keep their city beautiful.

Catawba Valley Association of REALTORS® (CVAR)

CVAR members got a head start on Gives Back Week by volunteering with the Backpack Program of The Corner Table. They packed bags of food for students to take home over the weekend—many of whom rely on this support when school meals aren’t available. The program serves more than 1,700 students across 40+ schools, and CVAR’s continued partnership, including their upcoming 16th Annual Night Crawl 5K, helps fund this essential work.

NC REALTORS® Gives Back Week is more than a volunteer event—it’s a reminder that REALTORS® are deeply connected to the places they live and work. Whether it’s through hands-on service, donations, or simply showing up to help, REALTORS® across North Carolina prove year after year that real estate is about people first.
