Community Relations Committee chair Tom Platek (R) and committee member Jim Wright (L) present check to Shannon Coker of Care and Share

The Pikes Peak Association of REALTORS® (PPAR)
Community Relations Committee presented
Colorado Springs Care and Share with a check for over
$700 to help the hungry in the Pikes Peak region.

 Representing PPAR was the Chairman of the Community Relations Committee Tom Platek,
of The Herman Group, and longtime committee member Jim Wright, of ERA Shields Real Estate. Accepting the donation for Care and Share was Shannon Coker, Events Manager.

 Care and Share utilizes a national network of resources and helps more than 400 member agencies provide food security to Southern Coloradans.  Care and Share acts not as
a local food pantry, but as a regional hub, connecting a variety of nutritious food resources to those in need. In addition to emphasizing education and awareness and stressing advocacy
on a local, state and national level, Care and Share also connects with businesses,
organizations, government entities and individual community members in the fight against hunger. “Any project that helps people in need is what I choose to be a part of,” said Wright.

Platek and Wright both emphasized the importance of giving back to the community
and to such a worthwhile cause. “To see how Care and Share works is amazing. 
PPAR is proud to give back to such a worthwhile organization,” said Platek.
