MANY YEARS AGO WE REALIZED THAT WE HAVE A RESPONSIBILITY THAT GOES WAY BEYOND HELPING PEOPLE BUY AND SELL HOMES. We too are homeowners. We too have kids. We too want safe, vibrant and livable neighborhoods. Because of that we have committed to helping create and maintain communities that are thriving and interesting places to be. One way we do this is through our annual Community Service Day, which took place on June 5 this year.

For the past 31 years, Windermere offices have closed their doors for one day to give back to the communities that have given so much to us. The types of projects our offices take on vary from cleaning up parks and community centers to feeding the hungry. For example, we have one office that spends every Community Service Day at Little Bit Therapeutic Riding Center, an organization that provides equine therapy to children and adults with disabilities. Like many non-profits, Little Bit is short staffed and heavily reliant upon volunteers to help care for their 18-acre property. So on June 5, our team was there washing fences, weeding, and clearing out paddocks to help keep Little Bit’s facility in prime condition for its guests.

On that same day, you could find a team of Windermere volunteers at Mary’s Place, an organization that provides food, shelter, and resources to homeless families. For the second year in a row, this group spent the day prepping meals, sorting through donations, and deep cleaning the shelter. Mary’s Place tells us that having the Windermere team there makes the families who use this facility feel loved and valued.

For several years, a team of Windermere volunteers has spent Community Service Day at an amazing organization called Camp Korey that provides recreational programs for children with serious medical conditions. They spend the day cleaning the grounds, painting, gardening, and prepping for incoming campers. The group loves knowing that they’re making a positive impact on the brave children who visit Camp Korey.

We’re so proud of our team and the selfless role they play in their communities.

We might be the leadership of this company, but it’s our agents who are the true leaders, proving time and time again that service to others is not something you do, it is who you are.
