Real estate brokerage gives back to local communities for annual event

Real estate agents and employees with Long & Foster Real Estate, including those from the offices in Great Falls, Leesburg, One Loudoun, McLean and Purcellville rolled up their sleeves and took part in the company’s annual Community Service Day on June 28.

Long & Foster’s Community Service Day took place at or in the communities of its over 200 locations throughout the Mid-Atlantic and Northeast. The annual event provides an opportunity for Long & Foster agents and staff to give back to their communities through a variety of service projects, including food drives, park clean-ups and more.

Agents from the Great Falls, Leesburg, One Loudoun, McLean and Purcellville offices chose to volunteer with Women Giving Back in Sterling, Virginia. Women Giving Back supports women and children in crisis on a first step toward stability by providing quality clothing at no cost. Women Giving Back also accepts donations of shoes, handbags, unopened cosmetics, diapers, prom and wedding dresses, and more. Agents sorted donations and prepared them to be available in the boutique that evening for an event that supported hundreds of women in the community.

“Community Service Day is a vitally important component of Long & Foster’s corporate culture of giving,” said Patrick Bain, president and CEO of The Long & Foster Companies, the parent company of Long & Foster Real Estate. “Our team gains a tremendous sense of satisfaction by contributing their time and efforts to the communities in which we live and work.”

Managing Brokers, Rachel Foster, Cathy Zamanpour and Dave King, all agreed and added, “The support that Women Giving Back provides to hundreds of local families every year is remarkable.  We are grateful to be able to help them in their mission.”
