Giving Tuesday 2021 – Charities we love

 

“Alone we can do so little; together we can do so much.”- Helen Keller.

Giving Tuesday is a worldwide day of giving when community members like YOU come together to support those most in need. Generosity gives everyone the power to make a positive change in the lives of others and is a fundamental value anyone can act on.

Giving back is the cornerstone of our business. For every home sold, a portion of our commission is donated to local charities.

Below is a list of local non-profit organizations that are near and dear to us. I strongly encourage you to consider donating today if you are financially able.

The Vine Maple Place

VMP: Vine Maple Place is a Christian organization that breaks the generational cycle of homelessness by working with single parents and their children.  Their approach offers safety, provides stability, and equips to self-sufficiency. 

The Stable Families  (SF) model is a proven, integrated approach that offers moms and kids facing homelessness the resources and tools needed to become safe and stable, leaving homelessness behind forever. Families are being successful. 91% of families are successfully housed one year later. DONATE HERE

At the beginning of 2021, we felt a massive tug in our hearts to do more. In March 2021, we partnered with VMP and launched the 30 Nights Of Safety campaign. FOR EVERY HOME SOLD, we donate 30 nights of safety which provides warm meals, safety, and care for families.

This year, we have donated a total of 210 nights of safety (over $7k) to VMP. 

The Storehouse Covington Foodbank

For more than a decade, the Storehouse has devoted its energy to providing food to families in crisis. It’s our prayer and hopes that this food would not only nourish the physical body but also provide encouragement during challenging times. We work together to continue the mercy ministry of Jesus; feeding the hungry and providing comfort to the poor. We take a non-threatening approach: a simple prayer or blessing is offered along with an ear to listen. The heart of our mission is to love our neighbors by responding to their requests for food, prayer, and referral to other services that are needed, with dignity and respect. Our motto is to “love until they ask why.” DONATE HERE

The Windermere Foundation

EVERY TIME A HOME IS SOLD For the past 30 years a portion of every Windermere agent’s commission has been donated to the Windermere Foundation. Having 100% participation gives us a common purpose and sends a powerful message about our commitment to the community. 

Last year alone we provided funding to hundreds of organizations throughout the Western U.S., including homeless shelters, food banks, schools, hospitals, community centers, and more. LEARN MORE
