Berkshire Hathaway holds Community Service Day
Sales associates and employees of Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices Fox & Roach, Realtors/The Trident Group volunteered Oct. 5 to lend a hand across the tri-state area at more than 250 nonprofit organizations for the 22nd annual Community Service Day.
Volunteers from the Collegeville office spent the day at Grace & Cecil Bean’s Soup Kitchen collecting food for Designing4Hope.
Each fall, the tri-state area’s largest real estate brokerage closes its doors for the companywide annual Community Service Day so that sales associates and employees can spend the day at local nonprofits helping to paint, repair, stock food banks and cook meals to help the less fortunate in their communities.
“Community Service Day is the heart of Fox & Roach Charities,” Fox & Roach Charities President Kassie Erb explained. “This annual service day makes a difference in all of our lives, volunteers and recipients alike. We are pleased to be able to continue to offer more than the financial support we donate, through volunteer, handson help with all of their much-needed projects and tasks,” Erb explained.
