More than 30 members of Las Vegas REALTORS® (LVR) recently teamed up with Rebuilding Together Southern Nevada (RTSNV) to volunteer to help a local homeowner revitalize his aging home in Henderson.
The work was completed May 16 and provided at no cost to Michael, a Henderson native who has a disability and underwent surgery just before LVR’s volunteers helped revitalize his home.
In addition to donating $15,000 to RTSNV, LVR volunteers led by LVR President George Kypreos and LVR Vice President Stephanie Grant spent the day doing maintenance work, including exterior painting, xeriscaping and property and yard cleanup.
The community service project was part of NAR’s REALTOR® Volunteer Days held nationwide from May 10-18. LVR and its members support RTSNV’s mission of transforming the lives of low-income homeowners by rehabilitating homes to improve their overall health and safety and to enhance community pride and property values.
