NC REALTORS® Gives Back Week 2026: Serving Communities Across North Carolina
Each year, NC REALTORS® Gives Back Week brings REALTORS® from across North Carolina together to serve the communities where they live and work. What began in 2019 as a project of the William C. Bass Leadership Academy has grown into a statewide tradition led by the NC REALTORS® Housing Foundation, highlighting the REALTOR® commitment to making a difference beyond real estate.
This year’s Gives Back Week once again showcased the generosity and dedication of REALTORS® across the state. From building homes and packing food to supporting families and children in need, local associations rolled up their sleeves to strengthen their communities through service.
Local Associations Making an Impact
Members of the Durham Regional Association of REALTORS® spent their Volunteer Day serving in two meaningful ways. REALTORS® delivered dinner to families staying at the Ronald McDonald House and partnered with Sleep in Heavenly Peace to help build beds for children in Durham who do not have one of their own. Their efforts provided both practical support and encouragement to local families.
The Union County Association of REALTORS® partnered with Food for Families NC, Inc. for a two-day volunteer project. On the first day, volunteers worked in the warehouse packing food into bags and boxes. The following day, they assisted with food distribution, helping ensure local families received the resources they needed.
The Burke County Board of REALTORS® partnered with Habitat for Burke County, where volunteers split their time between the Habitat ReStore and an active build site. By supporting both operations, REALTORS® helped advance Habitat’s mission of providing safe, affordable housing opportunities within the community.
As part of NC REALTORS® Gives Back Week and NAR Volunteer Days, the Raleigh Regional Association of REALTORS® hosted a service project benefiting The Women’s Center. Volunteers packed essential items to support women experiencing homelessness and housing instability, helping provide resources that promote dignity, stability, and hope.
