Annual Coat Drive Was Huge Success

The Keller Williams Realty office in Leesburg, VA does an annual coat drive, collecting gently used coats for those in need in Loudoun County.  The coat drive starts during the holiday season, and this year's drive went through January 15th... ending just a few days ago.

I am so thrilled to annouce  what a great success it was! The coat drive resulted in 312 coats, 17 scarves, 12 gloves, 22 ball caps, 5 pairs of boots, and 12 winter caps delivered to Loudoun County needy families.

Our agents and their friends and families contributed, as did community members who simply heard about the drive through word of mouth or internet sources like the Leesburg Va Facebook Fan Page.  It was a great community effort, and was coordinated by Angela Gammon, who runs a property management business from the Keller Williams Realty Leesburg office.  Many thanks to everyone for their generosity!

Giving Where We Live

In recognition of the first KW RED Day, several shifts of real estate agents and their associates from Keller Williams Realty in Leesburg invaded the ReStore in Purcellville on Thursday, May 28th to help with cleaning, stocking, displaying merchandise in the store and preparing online ads to increase sales. KW RED Day was organized on an international level to recognize the 72nd birthday of Mo Anderson, Vice Chairman of the Board of Keller Williams International, and her amazing commitment to community service. The leadership of Keller Williams International firmly believes in giving back to the communities each office serves and has many programs in place to encourage this. RED is an acronym for Renew Energize and Donate; and the motto for the day was “Giving Where We Live”. You can read more about Keller Williams Realty, and about RED Day at www.kw.com/REDDay. The ReStore in Purcellville recently opened and is located on Main Street. It is owned and operated by the Loudoun Chapter of Habitat for Humanity and proceeds from all sales benefit local Habitat for Humanity projects. The store carries new and used doors, windows, shutters, hardware, lighting, plumbing and electrical supplies, flooring, building materials, office furniture, and more. Volunteers are needed on a regular basis, especially during the week; and donations are accepted during regular operating hours. Learn more about the ReStore at http://www.loudounrestore.org/
