Realtors team up for holiday effort

The San Diego Association of Realtors (SDAR) and the real estate community have launched a holiday effort to help San Diego’s children, military, homeless, and senior citizens. Special events, including a kickoff held Nov. 1, are being hosted at the recently listed home for sale, dubbed “Holiday House,” at 5204 Chelsea St.

Donations will be collected through Dec. 8 to help fill the “Holiday House” with items to be donated to local charities. A Donation Celebration is set for Dec. at the home.

They can be dropped off at the Holiday House

Charities benefiting from the Holiday House include: Adopt-A-Classroom, Becky’s House, Homefront San Diego, It’s All About the Kids, Marine Toys for Tots, The Salvation Army, San Diego Armed Services YMCA, San Diego Center for Children, San Diego Food Bank, Second Chance, and West Senior Wellness Center. Visit www.sdar.com to learn about the charities.

The Donovan’s family of restaurants is sponsoring the Holiday House.

Donations will be accepted at the Holiday House, at SDAR Service Centers, and area drop-off centers around the county.
