NC REALTORS® Gives Back Week 2025: A Statewide Effort to Serve

Each year, NC REALTORS® Gives Back Week brings REALTORS® across North Carolina together to give back to the communities where they live and work. What began in 2019 as a project of the William C. Bass Leadership Academy has become a meaningful tradition led by the NC REALTORS® Housing Foundation—dedicated to supporting housing opportunities and local needs through service.

This year, the event lined up with the National Association of REALTORS® Volunteer Days from May 10–18, giving members a full week to take part in service projects that make a difference. From preparing meals and packing food to cleaning parks and delivering hygiene kits, local associations and firms showed the true spirit of giving.

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

Local Associations and Firms Leading the Way

Durham Regional Association of REALTORS®

Members of the Durham Regional Association of REALTORS® Community Service Committee visited the Durham Ronald McDonald House, where they cooked and served a warm meal for families going through tough medical challenges.

Everything Pines Partners – Richmond County Real Estate

EPP Richmond County Real Estate delivered Hygiene Bags to the Our Daily Bread food bank. These thoughtful kits—filled with everyday essentials—help local residents meet basic needs with dignity. It was a great example of how partnering with local organizations can extend the reach of REALTORS®’ care and compassion.

Greensboro Regional REALTORS® Association

Members of the Greensboro Regional REALTORS® Community Service Committee spent a Saturday morning cleaning up Mitchell Street Park in Greensboro. By clearing debris and tidying the area, they helped refresh a beloved outdoor space for families and neighbors to enjoy.

Catawba Valley Association of REALTORS® (CVAR)

CVAR teamed up with the Backpack Program of The Corner Table to pack weekend meals for students who rely on school for daily nutrition. With over 1,700 students in more than 40 schools receiving weekly bags, the program fills a critical gap. Volunteers also restocked shelves and prepped supplies. CVAR’s support continues through its 16th Annual Night Crawl 5K, which raises funds for the Backpack Program.

Union County Association of REALTORS®

The Union County Association of REALTORS® partnered with the Council on Aging for their NC REALTORS® Gives Back Week project. The association was connected with an elderly couple who needed help with yard work. Volunteers stepped in to trim shrubbery, mow, weed, and spread mulch, making a meaningful difference in the couple’s home environment.

High-Country Association of REALTORS®

The High-Country Association of REALTORS® participated in REALTOR® Give Back Days by joining forces with The Ashe County Habitat for Humanity. David Davis, Chair of the Community Outreach Committee, along with several REALTORS®, worked together on a house in Ashe County to support the organization’s mission of providing safe and affordable housing.

Goldsboro-Wayne County Association of REALTORS®

The Goldsboro-Wayne County Association of REALTORS® rolled up their sleeves to support a local Habitat for Humanity Build. Volunteers came together to assist with home construction, helping provide safe and stable housing for a family in their community. Their collective effort showcased the power of teamwork and service.

Looking Ahead

REALTORS® across North Carolina stepped up in big and small ways this year—all with the same goal: to serve and care for their communities.
