With gloves on, buckets in hand, and a shared mission to protect Florida’s natural beauty, Osceola REALTORS® volunteers recently took to the water to help clean up local lakes and waterways. The effort was part of a statewide initiative encouraging REALTORS® and residents to work together to remove trash from Florida’s beaches, rivers, and coastal areas.

The Osceola REALTORS® Care Committee partnered with the City of Kissimmee and the City of St. Cloud to identify areas in greatest need of attention. Volunteers were divided between two cleanup sites in Osceola County, and by the end of the day, they had collected an impressive 107 pounds of trash—a visible reminder of the difference community collaboration can make.

“Our members continue to go above and beyond to care for our community,” said Renee Clark, 2025 Osceola REALTORS® President. “Their teamwork and dedication during this cleanup reflect the true spirit of our association—service, collaboration, and a genuine commitment to protecting the place we all call home.”

The REALTORS® Care Committee serves to connect Osceola REALTORS® with opportunities to give back, promoting volunteerism and fostering strong community relationships.

Founded in 1924, Osceola REALTORS® is the largest professional trade association in Osceola County, representing more than 5,800 REALTORS® and affiliate members—also known as Vital Industry Partners (VIPs). The association provides continuing education, professional designations, and advocacy to strengthen both the real estate profession and the community it serves.
