KISSIMMEE, FL – The REALTORS® Care Committee of the Osceola County Association of REALTORS®  has once again partnered with the Education Foundation of Osceola County to donate school supplies to  deserving children and teachers for the 2021-2022 school year. 

Members of the Association donated 1,237 items to the Supplying Our Future School Drive. Donations included  highly requested items such as backpacks, pencils, ear buds, glue, dry erase markers and more. These items  go directly to the A Gift for Teaching program, which provides over $1 million in school supplies to students  annually. 

“During the month of August, low-income families spend 40% of their monthly budget on “back to school” costs,  which can be very stressful on families who may not have a sufficient amount of financial resources,” said  REALTORS® Care Committee Chair, Justin Shrouder. “Families should not have to choose between school  supplies and feeding their family.” 

The purpose of the REALTORS® Care Committee is to seek, develop and promote opportunities for the  Osceola County Association of REALTORS® and its’ members to be engaged in the community. The  committee identifies opportunities and encourages involvement from REALTORS® in order to make a strong,  positive impact in the community. 

“I am very proud of our members for their generosity and the difference they are making in our community to  ensure the students of Osceola County are off to a great start for the school year,” said Osceola County  Association of REALTORS® Board President, Donnie Martinez. 

The Osceola County Association of REALTORS® is the largest professional trade association in Osceola  County providing programs, services, continuing education, and advocacy for over 5,000 REALTORS® in  Central Florida.
