More than 112,000 agents at Keller Williams Realty will have the opportunity to participate in the company’s seventh annual RED Day where they will prepare survival backpacks for the homeless on Thursday, May 14.
RED (Renew, Energize and Donate) day is a Keller Williams Realty service initiative dedicated to improving local communities around the nation. The KW Los Alamitos RED Day committee and its Agent Leadership Council (ALC) have finalized its project for this year.
“We are helping the homeless by preparing ‘survival backpacks,’” said Drake Cruz, one of the RED Day planners. “We are putting together items that the homeless may need during the day.”
“We are collecting socks, towels, washcloths and toiletries,” said Delight Sittman, another organizer. “We are hoping to collect new and gently used backpacks and fill them with these items and hand them out on RED Day.”
“We are ready to rock’n roll and celebrate RED Day,” said Elaine Armogida, CEO/Team Leader at KW Los Alamitos.
“We are looking for donations of these items or monetary donations to purchase bus passes,” added Cruz. “
“The vision for RED Day is that all Keller Williams associates actively engage in a coordinated effort to improve their local community,” said Armogida. “Volunteer activities nationwide have ranged from food and blood drives to cleaning up trash in public parks, revamping gardens at nursing homes and rebuilding homes and schools.”
The community and affiliates of KW Los Alamitos are encouraged to participate.
“In past years the our market center has has helped feed the homeless, worked with troubled kids, cleaned up at the SPCALA and helped out at the Ronald McDonald House,” said Sittman.
Items can be dropped off for this year’s drive by May 13, and can be left at 10900 Los Alamitos Blvd. Suite 160 (behind Hof’s Hut). For more information, please call 562-626-8600.
