Named the Association\u2019s SPAAR Hero for November 2019, Amy was then honored as 2019 SPAAR\u2019s Good Neighbor Award \u2013 \u201cBetter Communities\u201d recipient, selected among a pool of top-notch candidates who volunteer in the communities in which they live and work.<\/p>\n<p>Amy is a REALTOR\u00ae relatively new to the business, but not new to helping others. She is an advocate who serves unsheltered individuals to help make their lives easier in many ways. In fact, Amy can be found each Wednesday evening volunteering with the Walking With A Purpose program, which provides wellness and dinner to about 150 people each week.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019ve always been interested in helping and advocating for others,\u201d said Amy, who added, \u201cmuch of our culture has lost that sense of caring for family and for some that results in a loss of home when difficult situations arise.\u201d<br \/>\nAmy said some individuals have difficulty receiving services or shelter because they lack qualifications such as having a physical disability or having children.<\/p>\n<p>Amy says that the nonprofit Walking With A Purpose is her biggest commitment right now, but she\u2019s been involved in multiple nonprofits and volunteer efforts over the years to help those in need. And, she\u2019s always willing to educate others about the needs right here in our own communities.<\/p>\n<p>One project Amy works on monthly, often with a helpful hand from her husband, is creating Pack &amp; Go Meals that include essential food for unsheltered individuals.<\/p>\n<p>Congratulations, Amy, on receiving both the SPAAR Hero and SPAAR Good Neighbor awards for your work in the community.<br \/>\nIn addition to Amy, congratulations to the following who were named SPAAR Hero in 2019: Zach Duckworth, the Chris Fritch Team, Sue Gonyea, Robbie Grossman, Mary Knudsen, Sandy Maxwell, Sue Nichols and Scott Rehovsky. <span style=\"color: #ffffff;\">Jennifer Kovacich<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Amy Geislinger is one of those people who have a gift for reaching out to others and the Saint Paul Area Association of REALTORS\u00ae has taken note of it.
