Realtor® Amy Murphy Is Raising Spirits & Helping Those In Need

Realtor® Amy MurphyThough COVID has kept communities and people physically apart, Realtor® Amy Murphy is working to make sure each community member feels connected and cared for.


Amy regularly volunteers with VEAP (Volunteers Enlisted to Assist People) - a local nonprofit that helps community members by providing basic needs like food, housing assistance, and other services.


Recognizing the tremendous need created by COVID, Amy jumped into action this winter to organize a socially-distanced neighborhood food drive for VEAP. Using donated bags from Target, Amy dropped off the bags to neighbors, then picked them up once they were filled. 


Together, Amy and her neighbors collected 403 lbs of food!


And while volunteering with VEAP is a rewarding experience for Amy, it’s also a personal one, as her family relied on VEAP’s services many years ago.


Amy never forgot the outpouring of generosity and support from VEAP during a difficult time, and as a result she continues to volunteer and donate supplies every year to help families just like her own.


It’s Amy’s hope that each act of kindness will lift the spirits of the individuals in her community.


“When we serve others, we benefit from living in that community where spirits are lifted, heads are raised, smiles are present, and kindness is freely extended. We live in a better community when we participate in the care of it.”
