The Bethany Beach, Delaware, office of Long & Foster Real Estate, the No. 1 private residential real estate company in the United States by sales volume, will participate in the company’s 20th annual Community Service Day in June. The Bethany Beach office will join the brokerage’s over 220 offices in the day of giving back by hosting a Dine and Donate and silent auction benefitting Fisher House from 5-9 p.m. on June 1 at Hooked Up Ale House & Raw Bar in Millville.
“We’re so excited to host this event for the community. Proceeds will benefit the Fisher House at Dover Air Force Base,” said Heather Gates, project coordinator and sales associate with the Bethany Beach office. “The Dover Fisher House provides lodging and support to families of our fallen heroes so they may travel to Dover to witness the dignified transfer of their loved one.”
Long & Foster sales associates and employees from throughout the company, including staff from its Chantilly, Virginia, headquarters, 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.
“Since our founding nearly 50 years ago, we’ve been dedicated to giving back to the communities in which we live and work, and our annual Community Service Day event is one example of how we do that,” said Jeffrey S. Detwiler, president and chief operating officer of The Long & Foster Companies, parent company of Long & Foster Real Estate. “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. Whether it’s through our annual Community Service Day or one of our other charitable projects, we’re truly glad to give back.”
