We were very grateful to have the Freeland and Langley offices of Windermere Real Estate out at the Good Cheer facility on Friday. This was Windermere’s Community Service Day and the third year that Good Cheer was selected. The realtors mentioned how much the Good Cheer Food Bank has done to help those in need within our community and they wanted to help.
The decision as to where to help out is a decision that is made by everyone at the Windermere offices. This year Windermere was involved in painting the community room at the Freeland Library and giving a big helping hand with just about anything that you can think of at Good Cheer.
First Island Financial made sure that the day started with a nourishing breakfast to get everyone’s motor going.
Ron Eaton, from First Island Financial, thought a tractor of sorts would help with the process. He headed down to Double R Rentals and they were kind enough to donate the use of one of theirs. The added muscle was appreciated by everyone helping out!
Sure makes it easier to spread the gravel; though I’m sure there will be some sore muscles to follow.
Lining the parking lot was a very time consuming job and very much appreciated.
Fresh coats of paint were applied.
Helping out in the kitchen.
Donations were sorted.
Shelves were cleaned.
Plants were planted and earth was moved in the garden.
What is Community Service Day?
The photos tell a story of giving and it comes from the heart. This is the true essence of giving. When you give from your heart, you put yourself in line to experience a deeply rewarding truth. There really is more happiness in giving than there is in receiving.
Creating vibrant communities is one of the things that inspire the Windermere network to be involved in service projects that make things a little brighter for all our neighbors. Supporting the communities Windermere serves is at the core of the company’s formation and growth.
Every year since 1984, Windermere associates dedicate a day of work to complete neighborhood improvement projects as part of Windermere’s Community Service Day.
Community Service Day gives Windermere Real Estate an opportunity to give back to the communities where we live and work. They clean, landscape and repair parks, playgrounds, schools, shelters and community buildings.
We all want to thank Windermere Real Estate and it’s wonderful employees for brightening our day!
