Clark Hodge starting the off the drive with some great donations!

As the school year approaches, join us in helping students of Benton and Franklin counties.

We are joining forces with Seniors Helping All Kids’ Education to promote school supply donations. There are so many school children that attend school without the necessary tools to succeed. While you are out, please consider picking up some extra school supplies to help us fill our donation boxes. Drop them off at our convenient location during the months of August and September.

While you are here, say Hello to your favorite Broker!

Together we can help ensure our future leaders’ success by preparing them well.

Thanks for your support of our local kids, and thanks for being a part of our Distinctive Family.
