All 52 real estate offices affiliated with Coldwell Banker Residential Brokerage in New Jersey and Rockland County, N.Y., will give back to local communities in both states via charitable efforts as part of the fifth annual Coldwell Banker Residential Brokerage Cares Day event.
Each office has selected a Cares Day service project, with most of them taking place May 4-6. Coldwell Banker Residential Brokerage Cares is the real estate company’s philanthropic arm.
Hundreds of affiliated real estate agents and staff will be volunteering for a wide variety of charitable activities. Cares Day activities include town and park clean-ups; blood drives; food, clothing and baby supply drives; a Habitat for Humanity build; renovating a church apartment to help a homeless family on their way to self-sufficiency; garage sales for charity; secure document shredding; spending quality time at after-school programs and senior care facilities; volunteering at homeless shelters; and raising funds to support veterans, cancer research and ailing members of the community.
There will also be pet adoptions and pet supply collections in support of the nationwide Coldwell Banker Homes for Dogs Project, a partnership with Adopt-a-Pet.com aimed at helping adoptable dogs find loving homes. Together, the pair has helped more than 20,000 dogs find homes and are poised to continue this effort throughout 2017.
