Acton, MA

A big thank you to all who participated in our first annual company-wide community day of service, Red Day. Our Real Estate agents from Keller Williams Realty Boston Northwest completed a food drive collecting food and supplies to benefit the food pantries of Acton's Community Supper and The Concord Open Table.

We were made aware these organizations were seeing a dramatic rise in need of additional resources and volunteers. Collectively these organizations have been providing services to over three hundred households per week. We saw this as an opportunity to give back to the communities that support our agents and offices.

Thanks to the agents and their families who picked up food donations. Thanks to Donelans Supermarket and Roche Bros in Acton for providing the collection station at their stores. Most of all, thanks to the community, our clients, family, friends and business associates who made the donations in support of our drive!

The success of this program is a wonderful example of how an individual can make a difference in the lives of our neighbors.

One last thank you to Bill Nickerson, Vice President Mortgage Network, INC, for his generosity in sponsoring a pizza party for the office after the day of collecting.
