With the generous donation from the real estate agents and associates with the Southeast Minnesota Association of Realtors in Albert Lea, more than $1,000 was raised Dec. 9 for the Salvation Army’s food shelf with a live auction and a collection of toys for the Salvation Army’s angel tree. Many families and individuals in the community benefit from this great foundation. The goal of the fundraiser is to continue to make a difference in the place where they live and work. Kisti Skaar said the commitment to helping this great organization is very important. -- Submitted photo
