Real estate brokerage gives back to local communities for annual event

Thousands of real estate agents and employees with Long & Foster Real Estate, including those at the Suffolk/Harbour View and Smithfield offices in Suffolk and Smithfield, VA, rolled up their sleeves and took part in the company’s annual Community Service Day on June 9.

Long & Foster’s Community Service Day took place at its over 200 locations throughout the Mid-Atlantic and Northeast. The annual event provides an opportunity for Long & Foster agents and staff to give back to their communities through a variety of service projects, including food drives, park clean-ups and more.

The Suffolk/Harbour View and Smithfield offices chose to volunteer with The Salvation Army of Suffolk, VA. The offices collected over 1000 non-perishable items as well as clothing and toiletry items.  The items will be used for their mobile pantry, drive-thru meal service and their food pantry, which they do every day.

“Community Service Day is a vitally important component of Long & Foster’s corporate culture of giving,” said Jeff Detwiler, president and CEO of The Long & Foster Companies, the parent company of Long & Foster Real Estate. “Our team gains a tremendous sense of satisfaction by contributing their time and efforts to the communities in which we live and work.”
