Greenwich REALTORS® Give Back to the Community


December 30th, 2020 (Greenwich, CT) – The Board of Directors for the Greenwich Association of REALTORS® and Greenwich Multiple Listing Service, Inc. is proud to announce over $50,000 in year-end charitable donations to community organizations. 


“Due to the increased activity our local real estate market has seen this year, our Board felt strongly about making sure to provide assistance and recognition to those organizations across town who continue to make Greenwich a fantastic place to live and work,” explained 2020 GAR President, and Broker of New England Land Company, John McAtee. “We are thrilled to support and further the efforts of these local resources as they continue to respond to the unprecedented demands of the ongoing pandemic.”


The funds have been distributed to eight local non-profits and services to provide additional support during this time of increased need due to COVID-19:

The Kids In Crisis Helpline is staffed 24 hours a day with trained Crisis Counselors, and provides free, confidential phone and face-to-face intervention, counseling, and referrals. 


Neighbor to Neighbor improves the lives of residents in need throughout the Greenwich area and strengthens our community by creating access to food, clothing and basic living essentials in an atmosphere of kindness and respect.

In addition to the year-end contributions to local charities, members of the Greenwich Association of REALTORS® and Greenwich Multiple Listing Service, Inc. also participated in raising funds and awareness for various other initiatives throughout 2020. Those efforts included contributions to the Greenwich Community Projects Fund, which was responsible for bringing the holiday lights back to downtown Greenwich this season.
