Real estate brokerage gives back to local communities for annual event

Thousands of real estate agents and employees with Long & Foster Real Estate, including those at the Bay River office in White Stone, Virginia, rolled up their sleeves and took part in giving back to their communities this summer. The Bay River office held their Community Service Day on August 16.

Long & Foster’s Community Service Day took place at over 170 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.

“I am incredibly proud of our employees and agents across our region for their enthusiastic participation in Community Service Day,” said Dawn Bradley, senior regional vice president of the Richmond and Charlottesville/Staunton regions. “Our dedication to giving back to the communities that have given us so much truly exemplifies the spirit of our company – together we are making a difference.”

The Bay River office chose to volunteer with The Haven Shelter, which is a women’s shelter.  A goods drive was held at the Tri-Star supermarket.  Two SUVs were loaded with goods ranging from paper products, toiletries, medicine, and cleaning supplies along with gift cards. 

“We had a fantastic turnout of support from our community,” said real estate agent Lisa Shultz, of the Bay River office.  

“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.”
