Each year, Realtors® with the North County Association of Realtors lend support for a one-day food drive at area grocery stores to benefit The Community Resource Center, an organization dedicated to helping women and children, individuals, and families live safe, self-sufficient lives by providing critical assistance in the areas of domestic violence services, food programs, and emergency and transitional housing assistance.

This year, the Solana Beach Windermere office got involved by sponsoring and staffing a ‘Can Tree Holiday Food Drive’ at the Solana Beach Vons, the first time this site has been utilized in the 11-year history of the event. According to event organizers, Windermere’s Vons location was the busiest site this year, collecting the most donations from local shoppers. “Part of our Vision at Windermere,” explained Brent Consedine, Branch Manager for the Solana Beach Windermere office, “ is to be an integral part of the communities we serve. This event enabled our agents to demonstrate that commitment…and we had fun, too.”
