We have our amazing staff and community to thank for such a great morning. We are proud to announce that we were able to raise $1,014 in addition to the multiple bags of non-perishable food items collected,” says Kim Porco, Administrator at EXIT Realty Lake Superior.

A huge thank you to both our staff and community; especially Sales Representatives Pam Jaehrling and Laura DeLuca, as they were instrumental in bringing this idea to life.” says Kristen Trembinski, Broker of Record and Managing Partner of EXIT Realty Lake Superior.
