GIVING BACK TO OUR COMMUNITY BY SUPPORTING LOCAL CHARITIES

We feel it is extremely important to support our community by giving back.  Each year Buyers Brokers of the Seacoast, Hall-McGee Realtors, LLC selects charities that we wish to help.  Here is a list of charities that we will be supporting throughout 2012.  We receive a list of items from the prospective charity in their quarter of the year and spend the months assigned collecting the items that they can use.  We welcome your contributions, too!  If you wish to contribute to one of our selected charities just view our current list of items requested by the charity you are interested in helping and bring any donations to our office before the end of that charities' quarter.  Any donation will make a difference!
