Realtors® Care Day is a community-wide home repair project that assists homeowners annually with exterior home repairs and provides adaptive and safety modifications for those in need. Participating homeowners are identified by regional Habitat for Humanity chapters, the City of Charlotte and other housing partners.
Our 2024 Realtors® Care Day event was held on April 19, 2024.
PLEASE NOTE: Volunteer opportunities are only open to Canopy Realtor® Association members. Non-member individuals and organizations can provide support through sponsorships, contributions and donations.

FAQs – Realtors® Care Day
Why does the Association do this?
Faced with today's economic challenges, many homeowners are forced to choose between paying their mortgage payment and performing basic home repairs. While it is impossible to help everyone, Realtors® make a significant impact on our community's elderly and disabled, and others living in unsafe or substandard conditions. During the life of the project, 315 homeowners and non-profits have received much-needed repairs. Volunteer efforts represent a financial impact exceeding $1,200,000.
Where does Realtors® Care Day happen?
Home repairs take place during the day-long project in Mecklenburg, Iredell and Haywood counties.
Who participates?
Each year, hundreds of Canopy Realtor® Association members volunteer for the project. While volunteer opportunities are limited to Realtors®, the project requires professional assistance from builders, developers and other professionals such as painters, roofers and home inspectors. Participating homeowners join in the day's activities as they are able. Member registration >>
Who are we helping?
The Foundation collaborates with community housing advocates and nonprofits to identify homeowners who are in need and meet the criteria for support.
How can I help?
Realtors® are needed to volunteer to work on the homes. Volunteers are kept informed through e-blasts that provide updates and work assignment confirmations. All volunteers must be Realtors® and members of the Canopy Realtor® Association. Non-member individuals and organizations can provide support through sponsorship, contributions and donations.
Thank you to all our volunteer Realtors®, our Realtors® Care Day Core Planning Committee and to each of our community housing partners for helping to change the lives of our neighbors!
