MAKING A DIFFERENCE
We care about our community!
Each year, WCBR participates in numerous events to help raise awareness about community needs and to help raise funds needed to support community organizations. Here’s an overview of our current activities:
Blue Bag Project
WCBOR’s Blue Bag Project helps local community food shelves keep their shelves stocked. Quarterly our members fill Blue Bags with food donations and cash and we donate to a local food shelf, rotating to different communities within Windsor County.
Zack’s Place
The Board helped with the 5K Turkey Trot to benefit Zack’s Place with a sponsorship contribution and volunteers helping out at the event.
Vermont Green Up Day
WCBOR members care about Vermont’s environment! each year, a team of volunteer members participate in Green Up Day, doing our part to ensure that Vermont is pristine.

The Windsor County Board of Realtors is reaching out to fill a need in the community as well as serve our clients.
ReCover Store
The Windsor County Board of Realtors is partnering with The ReCOVER Store in an effort to help clients who may have furnishings, cabinets, and household items to dispose of during the sale of property. By working with ReCOVER we help our clients and also help families in need. The ReCOVER Store is an environmentally friendly, socially responsible business that provides funding for their Home Repair and Weatherization program serving the urgent home repair needs of low-income residents of the Upper Valley. The store offers bargain-priced, used building materials, appliances, furniture, house wares and tools for sale to the public which helps fund their programming.
