CHICOPEE — Riley Home Realty recognizes the ongoing commitment to community involvement demonstrated by Kate Riley, vice president, and the company throughout 2025. Giving back is a core value that continually guides how the team shows up for the communities they serve.
Kate Riley has long believed that strong communities are built through active participation, meaningful relationships, and consistent service. In 2025, she continued to donate her time and leadership to a wide range of local nonprofit organizations and civic initiatives through volunteering, board service, committee involvement, and hands-on support. Her efforts reflect a deep dedication to strengthening the social fabric of Western Mass.
Riley currently serves as a board member for the Chicopee Chamber of Commerce, the Chicopee Rotary Club, and the Boys and Girls Club of Chicopee. She also lends expertise in volunteer advisory roles with those organizations, as well as contributing her time, insight, and advocacy to support youth development, economic vitality, and community well-being with Lorraine’s Soup Kitchen and Pantry, United Way, and the For the Love of Good Foundation.
Her community involvement also extends to membership and support of many organizations, such as YPS of Greater Springfield, the Chicopee Situation Table, the National Assoc. of Realtors, the Massachusetts Assoc. of Realtors, the Realtor Assoc. of Pioneer Valley, and BNI Destination Success (former president 2024-25 and currently visitor host coordinator).
At Riley Home Realty, employees enjoy being active and will continue to support initiatives that promote connections. This commitment reinforces the company’s belief that success in real estate is deeply connected to the health and strength of the communities it serves. The team looks forward to continuing its support of many local causes and organizations in the year ahead, including sponsoring the Chicopee Police Department’s Police Unity Tour: Team Western Mass., a ride that honors law enforcement officers who have made the ultimate sacrifice in the line of duty, as well as hosting a fourth annual summer event, with 100% of money raised going to benefit Lorraine’s Soup Kitchen and Pantry, for a total donation of $11,960.
Kate Riley grew up in Western Mass. and has built lasting roots while living by her philosophy that those who work with Riley Home Realty feel like family. “I believe my background in insurance and recruiting shaped my people-first approach,” she said. “Every relationship I make is grounded in listening, understanding, and meeting clients where they are.”
