Residents of Bithlo
can now kick back
with a cup of coffee
and conversation or
offer the kids some
extra reading materials
thanks to the Orlando
Regional REALTOR®
Foundation and others
who are helping to
revitalize the underserved
east Orlando
community.
ORRF (the charitable
arm of Orlando Regional
REALTOR® Association) contributed nearly $8,000 toward the renovation of a single
family home to serve as the Transformation Village Coffee Shop & Library, which
was celebrated with a ribbon-cutting ceremony and guest speakers on September 27,
2018. The foundation worked with project partners such as Greater Orlando Builders
Association and United Global Outreach to ensure that the home met current building
codes and Americans with Disabilities Act requirements.
The home will serve as a safe place for local children to gather after school for
homework and educational activities in addition to housing a library collection and
coffee service. The facility is just part of the ongoing Transformation Village program,
which seeks to address Bithlo’s environmental as well as community concerns.
The Transformation Village project is supported under Orlando Regional REALTOR®
Foundation’s mission of improving the quality of life for Central Florida’s residents.
