NASHVILLE, TN, - Giving back to the community they serve is always an important goal for the sales associates in Crye-Leike, REALTORS Cane Ridge Nashville office - but now they see their goal to give back is more important than ever before.
With more people struggling to make ends meet and in need of assistance, Crye-Leike's Cane Ridge Nashville agents are organizing a coat drive for the homeless.
"We're continually looking for ways to give back to the community," said Wanda Batson, Coat Drive Coordinator & Crye-Leike Nashville Agent. "We normally work with homeowners and prospective homeowners on a daily basis. In this case we felt the need to help out the homeless, so we're asking everyone in our office to get in touch with their friends and neighbors for donations of new or gently used winter coats."
Crye-Leike Agent Wanda Batson is organizing the "Crye-Leike Coats for the Homeless Campaign" for the third year in a row. Last year, the companywide coat drive collected a truck load of coats, gloves, scarves and other winter clothes for homeless men, women and children in the Nashville area.
"All the coats and winter clothing collected last year were donated to Belmont Church and handed out at the church's Christmas Dinner they provide each year to feed the homeless." said Wanda.
Again this year, Crye-Leike is challenging each agent and associate to collect coats from friends, neighbors and from their own closets to be donated to Belmont Church's annual coat drive and dinner for the homeless.
"We're excited to be supporting and joining in the Belmont Church congregation's ongoing winter coat campaign for the homeless," said Wanda. "This holiday, as home sales traditionally slow down, we are refocusing our energy and hoping to brighten the spirits of many homeless adults and children living in and around Nashville."
