Long & Foster's Ocean Front Office to Host Community Service Day

May 29, 2015

The Ocean Front office of Long & Foster Real Estate, the largest independent residential real estate company in the United States, will take part in the company’s 18th annual Community Service Day on June 3, 2015. The Ocean Front office in Virginia Beach, Va., will join the brokerage’s over 180 offices in the day of giving back by volunteering at Camp Hope Haven. Agents and staff alike will spend a day helping to clean the camp cottages, sorting through donated items, as well as donating necessities such as sunscreen and bottled water.

“It is important to give back to our community, insuring that each and every person has what is required to live a happy and healthy life. We are excited to help the children of Camp Hope Haven, and are happy that we can provide a good example of how our community cares for its people,” Holt said.

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

“Long & Foster has had a long-standing commitment to supporting the communities in which we live and work and this event is one example of how we do that,” said Jeffrey S. Detwiler, president and chief operating officer of The Long & FosterCompanies, 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.”

In addition to its dedication to serving the community, Long & Foster Real Estate is committed to the success of its sales associates and is an industry leader in providing the latest and best tools, technology and training. For more information, visit www.LongandFoster.com.
