Members of the Honolulu Board of REALTORS®, along with family, friends, and staff, hit the streets around their headquarters in Kaimuki twice a year, as part of the City and County of Honolulu’s Adopt-A-Block program, which encourages residents and local business to make a commitment to improving the quality of Oahu’s communities. The twice-yearly service day clean-ups are held in April to celebrate Earth Month and in October for Make-A-Difference month.
As REALTORS®, we have a desire and responsibility to be good neighbors and take care of the communities where we live, work and play. It’s important to us to promote a clean city and improve the quality and condition of our community and the ‘āina.
Volunteers worked alongside each other to beautify blocks near the Honolulu Board of REALTORS® 12th Avenue headquarters, including cleaning up streets and collecting trash. Volunteers also mark storm drains with “No dumping” placards as a reminder to keep trash and debris out of the storm drain system, reduce residential spills, and encourage overall neighborhood stewardship. Adopt-A-Block volunteers from the Honolulu Board of REALTORS® include members of the Board's leadership, Community Service Committee members, REALTORS®, and loan officers. Family members and non-REALTOR friends are also welcome to volunteer.
