Faced with today's economic challenges, many homeowners are forced to choose between paying their mortgage payment and performing basic home repairs. While it is impossible to help everyone, Realtors® make a significant impact on our community's elderly and disabled, and others living in unsafe or substandard conditions. During the life of the project, 347 homeowners and non-profits have received much-needed repairs. Volunteer efforts represent a financial impact exceeding $1,200,000.

Home repairs take place during the day-long project in Mecklenburg, Iredell and Haywood counties.

Each year, hundreds of Canopy Realtor® Association members volunteer for the project. Volunteer opportunities are limited to Realtor® Members. In addition, non-Realtor® Firm sponsors at $750 and above will also have the opportunity to volunteer the day of the project. For sponsorship inquiries, please reach out to Stacy Baum.   And please check back for Member registration timeline and information.

The Foundation collaborates with community housing advocates and nonprofits to identify homeowners who are in need and meet the criteria for support.

Realtors® are needed to volunteer to work on the homes. Volunteers are kept informed through e-blasts that provide updates and work assignment confirmations. All volunteers must be Realtors® and members of the Canopy Realtor® Association. Non-member individuals and organizations can provide support through sponsorship, contributions and donations.

Thank you to all our volunteer Realtors®, our Canopy Realtor® Association's Realtors® Care Day Core Planning Committee and to each of our community housing partners for helping to change the lives of our neighbors!
