Lake Mary, Florida, February 20, 2016 (Newswire.com) - Almost 23% of Florida’s children are living in poverty. Within the state of Florida there are over 60,000 homeless students within the public school system and over 2,000 are found within Seminole County alone. There is a great need in our local community for assistance.

In an effort to help, The Miller Realty Group of Keller Williams Heritage Realty has partnered with Families in Need (F.I.N.) to help bring awareness, unity, and fund-raising for this cause. Over the course of 2016 they will be donating 5% of their commission to the FIN program. They will also be hosting local community events throughout the year to help fund-raise and sponsor collection drives.

Since we have daughters who are currently in public high school in Seminole county it really hit home. By supporting Families in Need we hope to have a positive impact on the families who need help to prevent them from being homeless."
