Event allows real estate agents, brokerage to give back to the local community
Richmond, VA, June 17th, 2026 – The Strawberry Street office of Long & Foster Real Estate will participate in the company’s Community Service Day on June 17th. The office, located in Richmond, VA, will join the brokerage’s over 150 offices in the day of giving back by volunteering at the Strawberry Street office in support of the Fan District Association street beautification efforts. The office has installed planter boxes that our agents lovingly tend to with seasonal plantings.
“The Fan is more than the community where we do business – it’s our home,” said John VanderSyde, Managing Broker. “Our agents are committed to supporting local organizations and community projects throughout the year, from school initiatives to neighborhood beautification efforts. We are honored to support the Fan District Association on this project and help preserve the character and vibrancy that makes Strawberry Street so unique.”
Long & Foster sales associates and employees from throughout the company will participate in a variety of volunteer activities during Community Service Day. In past years, these activities included cleaning up, refurbishing and repairing nearby parks, schools, shelters, homes and day care centers, and providing other assistance to local organizations that offer crucial services to the community.
“Community Service Day allows our team to make a positive impact on our local communities, and our agents and employees thoroughly enjoy this opportunity to contribute their time and effort,” said Patrick Bain, president and CEO of The Long & FosterCompanies, parent company of Long & Foster Real Estate. “Whether it’s through our annual Community Service Day or one of our other charitable projects, we’re truly glad to give back.”
