Steamboat Sotheby’s International Realty is proud to have partnered with Routt County United Way for the second year in a row in their annual School Supplies Drive. This program benefits needy families in Steamboat Springs and the Northwest Colorado region.
Each Steamboat Sotheby’s International Realty broker donates to the program, collectively being the largest contributor and being integral in United Way’s efforts to make sure that every child in Routt County has what they need to start the school year. The list of items needed by students the largest that Routt County United Way has ever received, and the need continues to grow each year. Steamboat Sotheby’s International Realty’s contribution to the program is crucial in the ability to fulfill the needs of every child on the list.
According to Kate Nowak, Executive Director of Routt County United Way, “This year we had more families who requested help with providing back-to-school supplies for their children than ever before. Steamboat Sotheby’s International Realty’s donation of literally hundreds and hundreds of supplies for these families allowed us to accomplish our goal of meeting the needs of these families in our community, and we couldn’t be more grateful. It is this type of generosity that makes Steamboat Springs and Routt County such a special place. We look forward to continuing to collaborate with Steamboat Sotheby’s International Realty on this project and others in the future, to improve the lives of people in and around Steamboat.”
The School Supplies Drive is the latest endeavor in Steamboat Sotheby’s International Realty’s community advocacy program. SSIR strives to identify needs within the community and to pool its resources through collective giving to make a difference in the lives of those in our community, particularly children and families.
Steamboat Sotheby’s International Realty has also formed its own Community Fund in partnership with the Yampa Valley Community Foundation, in order to support Yampa Valley and Steamboat Springs non-profit organizations through a collective funding and semi-annual granting process. As the #1 real estate firm in Steamboat Springs, Steamboat Sotheby’s International Realty agents, owners and staff collectively participate in the fund, aiming to make a significant and meaningful impact in our community.
Applications are currently being accepted for funding consideration for the Fall 2018 grant cycle. For more information and a link to the online application, visit the SSIR Community Fund page at www.steamboatsir.com.
