Realtors provide meals for hungry in Northeast Florida

Approximately 300 members of the Northeast Florida Association of Realtors packed nearly 75,000 meals for hungry children, seniors, and families in Northeast Florida during the NEFAR Charitable Foundation’s Hunger Fight Pack-a-Thon December 1. The event was held in the ballroom of the Adam W. Herbert University Center at the University of North Florida.

The event was funded with a $25,000 donation to Hunger Fight from the NEFAR Charitable Foundation. In addition to the 74,256 meals the realtors bagged and boxed for Hunger Fight, the donation also covered a gift of 2,545 books for preschoolers that will be part of the nonprofit’s efforts to combat illiteracy in the region.

“Hunger Fight is one of our members’ favorite annual events,” said NEFAR President Missi Howell. “Realtors know that communities are more than houses and making sure our area children have nutritious food when they are not in school is just one of the ways we love to give back.”
