Keller Williams Realty Red Day 2010 - Chicago / Oak Park

Today, more than 77,000 agents nationwide, banned together to "Give Where You Live" and give back the the communities that support them throughout the year. Chicago was no different - In the Oak Park area, just west of the city, our office of just under 50 people decided to do a food drive to support the Oak Park Food Pantry which support over 20 local communities in Chicago and the surrounding areas. We passed out fliers throughout the community and had several homeowners call us for pick-ups, other Real Estate Companies participated as well - with Weichert Realty really pitching in and donating a HUGE box of food for us to bring along with ours. This was not a day of competition between firms, it was a day of working together, hand in hand with our peers to support those in need throughout our area. We delivered the food at the end of the day and brought several boxes and carloads of food to the Pantry.

This was one of the best days we have had in the office this year. Coming from contribution to help those in need is one of the best feelings that anyone could ever have - it sure made me feel good, and I am glad I did it!

We will be doing more community service projects like this in the future, for sure!
