The Clean Up Florida Waters initiative, aimed at preserving the state’s natural beauty and ensuring cleaner waterways, got a helping hand from the Osceola County Association of Realtors on Wednesday, when members of the association came together to do their part for the local community by cleaning up the Kissimmee and St. Cloud’s Lakefront and Marsh Landing, showcasing their commitment to environmental stewardship.
“Even under the blazing Central Florida sun, our members showed incredible resolve and teamwork in cleaning up our community’s waterways. Their hard work and dedication not only reflect their commitment to our shared values but also highlight their passion for making a positive impact on our environment,” said 2024 Osceola REALTORS® Board President, Jim Lowe.
The REALTORS® Care Committee partnered with the City of Kissimmee and the City of St. Cloud to select areas of the county that would benefit the most from the Association’s clean-up effort. The volunteer teams were divided between three locations in Osceola County. At the end of the project, the Association’s volunteers collected 75 pounds of trash.
The purpose of the REALTORS® Care Committee is to seek, develop and promote opportunities for the Osceola County Association of REALTORS® and its’ members to be engaged in the community. The committee identifies opportunities and encourages involvement from REALTORS® in order to make a strong, positive impact in the community.
“Our beautiful beaches and outstanding waterways are one of the major reasons so many people love to live in – and visit – the Sunshine State,” said 2024 Florida Realtors®President Gia Arvin, broker-owner with Matchmaker Realty in Gainesville. “We encourage everyone who loves Florida’s waters to join Florida Realtors’ statewide effort to keep them clean and beautiful. We can all make a difference, at any time, to help preserve our waterways so that everyone can enjoy them now and for future generations.”
