Annual event allows real estate agents, brokerage to give back to the local community
The Short Pump office of Long & Foster Real Estate, will participate in the company’s 22nd annual Community Service Day on June 19. The Short Pump office in Richmond, Virginia, will join the brokerage’s over 220 offices in the day of giving back by volunteering on June 19th at Feed More, central Virginia’s hunger-relief organization.
“The Short Pump office believes it is important to participate in Community Service Day to give back to the city we love and ensure a better tomorrow for everyone” said Claire Forcier-Rowe, manager of the Long & Foster Short Pump sales office.
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.
“Since our founding in 1968, 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 Jeff Detwiler, president and CEO 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.”
