RealSource Association of REALTORS® Members Help Local Students Dress to Impress

Waldwick, N.J. (September 2017) – RealSource recently held its Member Appreciation Day at their headquarters located on Franklin Turnpike, Waldwick, which included a clothing drive to benefit a new program at Bergen Community College called “Move for Success.”

The program is a student-run “career closet” boutique suggested and organized by RealSource Affiliate, Cindy Myer of Ridgewood Moving. When it was brought to Myer’s attention that some students were unable to afford professional attire for big moments like a job interview, she decided that she did not want that to be a stumbling block between students and their future success. She contacted Bergen Community College and the program was quickly put into motion.

RealSource teamed up with Myer and Move for Success asking their REALTOR® members to do their fall wardrobe clean out and bring whatever gently used or new items they were willing to donate with them to the Member Appreciation Day.

Hundreds of items were donated by RealSource REALTORS®, which were brought over to the Move for Success boutique at Bergen Community College. The shop is now open for students to do their free interview outfit shopping. RealSource will continue to collect clothes for this cause on a quarterly basis.

RealSource Association of Realtors® is a not-for-profit Realtor® Trade Association in Waldwick serving over 3,000 real estate professionals. The mission of RealSource is to provide education, information, and vital tools to real estate agents and the local community. For more information about RealSource, visit www.realsource.org.
