KISSIMMEE, FL – The REALTORS® Care Committee of the Osceola County Association of REALTORS® recently spent the day volunteering on-site at one of the Osceola Council on Aging’s residential properties  building a wheelchair ramp for a disabled veteran.

The ramp project was funded by the Helping  Homebound Heroes (HHH) grant provided by The Home Depot Foundation and Meals on Wheels America. 

“We are honored to be supporting the Osceola Council on Aging. When we heard one of their disabled  veterans was having a difficult time getting in and out of his home, we knew we had to help. He bravely served  our country, and we are proud to show our gratitude for his service,” stated Justin Shrouder, REALTORS®  Care Committee Chair.

The  committee identifies opportunities and encourages involvement from REALTORS® in order to make a strong,  positive impact in the community. 

“This ramp will greatly benefit this veteran and his wife, who has been serving as his caretaker. We love having  our volunteers come to our aid and get involved whenever possible,” said Larry Belisle, HHH Coordinator.
