Realtors group starts program to help displaced families

Ingrid Stegemoeller, Herald staff writer

The Tri-City Association of Realtors has started a program to help local displaced families whose homes are damaged by fire.

Immediate relief will be provided in the form of a $500 pre-paid Visa card.

The association has given out two cards so far, both to Benton City families.
