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 Westham Sales office in Richmond, Virginia, rolled up their sleeves and took part in the company’s annual Community Service Day on June 8.

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 Westham Sales office chose to volunteer by collecting food and gift card donations for the benefit of Tuckahoe Middle School’s Helping Hands Food Pantry.  Alyson Stoakley of the Westham Sales office spearheaded the effort to give back to the office’s closer community of low-income families.

“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.”
