THAT’S A WRAP ON 2026 ROAD CLEANUPS!

What a year it has been! From Newaygo County to Mecosta County, WCAR REALTORS® showed up, rolled up their sleeves, and gave back to the communities we call home.

A huge THANK YOU to everyone who volunteered throughout the year. Your time, teamwork, and willingness to get out there and make a difference do not go unnoticed.

And a special thank you to our Fall lunch sponsors who helped keep our crews fueled after a hard morning of work!

🍽️ Newaygo County: Cory DeLong & Lisa DeLong with Top Quality Home Inspection

🍽️ Mecosta County: Mike Marsman with Treadstone Mortgage

Thank you to EVERYONE who participated in a WCAR Road Cleanup this year. Whether you joined us once or came out every time, you helped make our communities a little cleaner and a lot stronger.
