“Give Where You Live” – Our Community Involvement

In Burlington, almost 17,000 people (10%) are living at or below the poverty line. Everyday 10% of Burlington children are at risk of going to bed without food. About 44 % of all food bank clients are children.

We, at Keller Williams are eager to roll up our community involvement sleeves and do something about this. ?Give Where You Live | Community Involvement | Karen Paul & Associates Real Estate

On Thursday May 14, 2015, our Brokerage will be participating in the 7th annual Keller Williams Realty RED DAY (Renew, Energize & Donate). We’ll join approximately 700 Keller Williams offices and over 100,000 associates from more than a dozen countries around the world, renewing and energizing our communities.

In Burlington, we will be addressing the issue of hunger and food insecurity. Numerous individuals in our community, including children, go hungry when not assisted by community food banks and nutrition programs.

The need for food to service these programs is dire.

So, what’s our plan for RED DAY? We’re organizing a city-wide Food Drive in support of some of the organizations that provide food and services to those who are going hungry, collecting specific non-perishable food items and toiletries.

These will be re-distributed to Food4Kids, Compassion Society of Halton, ROCK (Reach Out Centre For Kids) and Partnership West Food Bank who will make good use of all the items collected.

Keller Williams agents will be canvassing in your neighbourhood on the days leading up to Thursday May 14th, informing you how you can help out and be involved with this important program. On Thursday May 14 we will be collecting non-perishable food and home items from the generous houses in the community who have chosen to participate. This is a great cause and there is a great need for your community involvement.

We look forward to speaking with you further about this great event!
