The Vail Board of REALTORS® is collecting non-perishable items to support The Community Market.

JOIN IN THE FOOD DRIVE

What is the timeline?

VBR's Food Drive is August 1 through 31, 2023.

Who can participate?

All VBR members can participate! Realtors®, Affiliates, Assistants. You can also ask your clients to contribute (your office will get the credit).

Where can I deliver food?

You can deliver items to the VBR offices in Edwards (Please contact us at 970-766-1028 to deliver). OR contact us for a pick up at 970-766-1028.

Why are you collecting food?

In Eagle County, over 8,700 community members are food insecure. The Community Market directly distributes food to our neighbors who are experiencing hunger.

Most people think of giving during the holidays, but food banks have a need year-round, including the summer months.

What nonprofit does this benefit?

The Community Market offers barrier-free access to FREE healthy food in the Eagle River Valley. The Community Market (TCM) is an Eagle Valley Community Foundation program.

TCM provides access to free, nutrient-rich food throughout Eagle County with three market options that feature a variety of fresh produce, dairy, bread, and shelf-stable grocery items.

WIN LUNCH FOR YOUR OFFICE!

We also have a friendly competition for the office that contributes the most food *per number of office members. You can win lunch or breakfast courtesy of the VBR! We will purchase lunch or breakfast for the winning offices (Up to $200 for one Brokerage office and one Affiliate office).

*Example: An office of two people that donates 30 items is higher in the rankings than an office of 30 people that donates the same amount.

SPREAD THE WORD

We encourage you to promote the food drive and yourself with photos and/or videos. Please share with VBR one of two ways:

1. Send photos and videos to [email protected] to be promoted on VBR's social media channels.
2. Share on your own channels. Make sure to tag the VBR so that we can like and share. VBR has accounts on Facebook, Instagram, Twitter (X), TikTok, and LinkedIn. We are also on Threads (vailboardofrealtors).



VBR will also take photos at pick-ups and deliveries to be shared on social media.
