DISASTER RELIEF
Our Mission
To Support Our Own in Times of Need
The REALTOR® community is a large and growing network of individuals dedicated to improving our communities. As RASM members, we are committed to upholding this family bond by extending support where necessary. By providing financial relief in times of crisis–whether due to a medical emergency, natural disaster, or even the death of a family member–we come together as a unit to help our fellow members in need.
THE RRCF SUPPORTS OUR MEMBERS
IF YOU NEED HELP:
If you or a fellow member has been affected by the flooding and destruction caused by a disaster, please apply for financial assistance. Our goal is to help you navigate this challenging time and provide support to rebuild your lives.
HOW TO HELP:
Your support is crucial now more than ever. If you are in a position to help, please consider donating to the RRCF relief efforts. Your generosity can make a significant difference in the lives of those members who have been hardest hit by a disaster.
