Evergreen Realty agents donate to Habitat

For the second year, agents of Evergreen Realty in Sandpoint and Schweitzer elected to donate a portion of each of their commissions to support the local Idaho Panhandle Habitat for Humanity.

"What a wonderful Christmas gift to the community and Habitat," said Tom Harvill, president of the Idaho Panhandle Habitat for Humanity.

"Last year Evergreen Realty contributed $11,000 and they have added $14,000 this year for a total of $25,000.

"It is safe to say that Evergreen Realty has built a house for a deserving local family," he said.

The agents at Evergreen Realty have not put any stipulations on the use of these funds, but it is anticipated that the proceeds will be used to finish the infrastructure at Habitat's project in Schissler Meadows in Kootenai.

"I am very proud of our agents and the commitment they have made to Habitat," said Charlie Parrish, Broker/Owner of Evergreen Realty.

"Everyone is aware of the state of the real estate market," Parrish said.

"In spite of the nationwide trend, we enjoyed a successful year and are happy to share our good fortune to see that another family finds a home."

Donations to Idaho Panhandle Habitat for Humanity can be mailed to PO Box 1191, Sandpoint, Idaho 83864.
