WINTERIZE NOW, if you haven’t already. Our first taste of cold weather hit earlier this week, and there’s definitely a chill in the air. All outside water systems should be winterized now, if they haven’t been already. Call your plumber, pool company, or landscaper to have those systems shut off and drained. Need a plumber or other service provider? Call or email me!
FOOD DRIVE: YOUR HELP IS NEEDED! ” Here in Cape May County roughly 9% of the permanent population relies on SNAP benefits,” according to the Cape May County Herald (11/11/2025). The Herald went on to say that more than “20% of the county’s population below the age of 18 are recipients of SNAP benefits.” The Cape May County Association of Realtors is sponsoring a food drive to help feed local families in need. Your donation helps provide fresh meals and groceries to those who otherwise might go to bed hungry, especially during an extended government shutdown. There are three ways to help: 1) Donations can be dropped off at the CMCAR office by November 25th, or 2) ordered online and shipped right to the office: Cape May County Association of Realtors, 1546 Route 9 North, Swainton, NJ 08210. Or, 3) you can drop off your donations to our Avalon or Stone Harbor office by November 18th, so we can deliver them to the CMCAR office. Your support is appreciated!
