Unleash Your Community Spirit

Helping Hands Week: October 13–19

A special note from Tammy Noll Adams, 2025 National President

I’m excited to announce the second year of our Helping Hands Week, aimed at mobilizing our local and state networks to take active roles in their communities. As REALTORS®, our impact extends beyond transactions—we are integral to the fabric of our neighborhoods.

I look forward to seeing the meaningful contributions you’ll make during our dedicated Helping Hands Community Give Back Week!

Roll Up Your Sleeves. Lead with Impact.

This October, the Women’s Council of REALTORS® is turning up the energy again with Helping Hands Week—a nationwide movement where our Networks unite to give back in bold, visible, and meaningful ways. This isn’t about writing checks—it’s about action. It’s about rolling up your sleeves, getting out into your neighborhoods, and showing the world what it looks like when leaders lead with heart.

Beyond the Donation: Sweat Equity in Action

At Women’s Council, leadership doesn’t stop at the closing table. During Helping Hands Week, we’re challenging every Network to step into the community and make a tangible difference. Whether it’s painting classrooms, packing food boxes, mentoring local youth, or lending your time at shelters, this is our chance to bring “sweat equity” to life. Together, our collective impact will ripple across the country—one project, one act of service, one community at a time.

Imagine the Possibilities

Picture it: members in every city proudly representing Women’s Council as they clean up parks, prepare meals for families, walk dogs at animal shelters, or cheer on kids at after-school programs. The opportunities are limitless, and every effort—big or small—adds up to something extraordinary. This is more than volunteering; it’s a movement of Women’s Council members stepping up as changemakers.

How to Get Involved

Now is the time to rally your Network and start planning your project! Use September to organize your volunteer day and bring your members together for an unforgettable experience. Think big, think local, and think of how your Network can make the most impact.

A few ideas to spark inspiration:

• Pack meals at your local food bank

• Spend a day helping at an animal shelter

• Support families at Ronald McDonald Houses

• Mentor kids through the Boys & Girls Clubs

• Deliver care with Meals on Wheels

Want to go further? Create a signature project that highlights what makes your community unique. Invite families, friends, and even clients to join—because community impact grows when we build it together.

Share Your Story

After Helping Hands Week, we want to hear all about it! Share photos and video clips that capture your members in action on social. Tag @womenscouncil and use #WomensCouncilHelpingHands so we can see all the good happening across the country that week!

Let’s Lead with Heart

Helping Hands Week is our chance to show the true power of the Women’s Council of REALTORS®. Together, we can prove that we don’t just talk about leadership—we live it. Let’s make October 13–19 a week to remember, one where our collective energy transforms lives and communities.
