May 23, 2016

The Newtown Sales office of Long & Foster Real Estate, the largest independent residential real estate company in the United States, will take part in the company’s 19th annual Community Service Day on June 8, 2016. The Newtown, Pennsylvania, sales office will join the brokerage’s over 220 offices in the day of giving back by volunteering at Bucks County Housing Group Penndel Food Pantry. Between May 8 and June 8, the Newtown sales office will conduct a food drive to help stock the Penndel Food Pantry and the office’s agents will pack up and deliver the donated food on June 8.

“As an office, we believe in community involvement and from a local standpoint, this project will not only allow our agent population to get involved, but our buyers, sellers and vendors as well,” said Office Manager Robbie Johnson.

Long & Foster sales associates and employees from throughout the company, including staff from its headquarters located in Chantilly, Virginia, 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.

“At Long & Foster, we’re dedicated to supporting the communities in which we live and work and the 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. “It’s such a wonderful opportunity for our Long & Foster family to make an impact in our local communities, and everyone thoroughly enjoys contributing 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.”
