Before the school year begins, our REALTOR® community showed up in a BIG way! ❤️📚✂️

Thanks to the incredible generosity of ECIAR members and brokerages, we collected 1,380 binders and 4,746 pairs of scissors for the Apples for Students program—enough to support more than 3,600 local students this year and even help with next year's program! St. Mark Youth Enrichment

Our support didn't stop there. 17 ECIAR REALTORS® also volunteered to help sort and pack thousands of school supply bags, proving once again that when our community comes together, amazing things happen.

Thank you to every member, brokerage, and volunteer who made this possible. Together, we're helping local students start the school year prepared, confident, and ready to learn.

Apples for Students Week is one of our favorite weeks of the year! 🍎📚

Watching our community come together to support local students is nothing short of inspiring. The generosity of so many individuals, businesses, and organizations makes a real difference, and we're proud to play a small part in helping this incredible program succeed.

Last Thursday, ECIAR had the privilege of attending Platteville Main Street Music in the Park, where we proudly presented a $3,000 Community Impact Grant in support of its Senior Nutrition Voucher Program.

The Senior Nutrition Voucher Program helps provide healthy, fresh produce to local seniors experiencing food insecurity. Each year, more than $7,000 in food vouchers are distributed to seniors and families in need. The program also supports local farmers, as vouchers can be redeemed at the Platteville Farmers Market for fresh fruits and vegetables.

Also, if you've never attended Music in the Park, there are still several Thursday evening concerts remaining this summer! This free community event takes place at Platteville City Hall Park and features live music by local performers, along with concessions available for purchase. It's a wonderful evening of music, community, and fun! https://www.plattevillemainstreet.com/events-programs/sweet-treats-on-main
