Realtor Association makes donating to local causes easier

The Realtor Association of Franklin and Gulf Counties is making it easier to donate to local charities and help local people in need.

Over the past few years the group held a successful Christmas food drive but decided this year to start a program that can help people year-round.

The Realtor Association has set up an online site that gives people the ability to donate throughout the year and choose where their donation goes; Franklin's Promise, People Helping People in Gulf County or both.

The goal is to raise at least $1,000 per quarter and present a quarterly check to each of the charities. 

Donated money should also go further than donated food because the food banks have the ability to turn cash into food at a rate that individuals can't match and​ the food that can be bought by the food bank with cash donations not only costs less but it is much easier for food banks to manage.

You can get more information or make a donation at the Realtor Association of Franklin and Gulf Counties website at www.rafgc.com.
