Realtor Assoc. Collects Books for Shriners Hospital for Children

SPRINGFIELD — At its annual President’s Awards Dinner, the Realtor Assoc. of Pioneer Valley’s community service committee spearheaded a children’s book drive for the fourth year to benefit the Shriners Hospital for Children in Springfield.

The Realtor Assoc. strives to support the communities where members work. In addition to supporting Shriners, it also supports local food banks with monthly donations.

When children come to the hospital for their appointments, they are given the opportunity to choose a book to take home. Realtor Assoc. members donated three large cases of books. For more information on how to help support this cause, contact Lee Roberts, Shriners Hospital for Children public relations specialist, at (413) 755-2307; or Kim Harrison, Realtor Assoc. of Pioneer Valley community outreach coordinator, at (413) 785-1328.
