The Lake Chelan Food Bank has gotten a generous boost from cash and food drive donations contributed by local realtors in the past few weeks.

The Lake Chelan Realtor’s Council recently provided a $22,835 check to the Food Bank as a result of their annual fundraiser. Local realtors worked the donation drive at Chelan Safeway to generate hundreds of pounds of food donations along with the cash.

More recently, the North Central Washington Association of Realtors (NCWAR) presented a $3,110 check to the food bank. The NCWAR made similar contributions to the Winthrop Food Bank and the Wenatchee Food Bank on behalf of the realtors living in those areas.

According to Lukas Sztab, President of the NCWAR, “Our organization is committed to supporting the communities that we live and work in. There is perhaps no greater cause than to help our neighbors put food on the table in these trying times”.

As the community faces increased need, the Food Bank has continued to adjust their services to reflect current restrictions. To learn more about how to donate or to receive their services, please visit the Food Bank website.
