The Harlock O’Donnell Real Estate Team, part of Royal LePage Crown Realty Services Brokerage, set a goal to collect 1000 cereal boxes to donate to the Cambridge Food Bank through April.
The response from the community was overwhelming, as 1,315 boxes were collected and picked up by the foodbank on April 25th, with some still trickling in, the team’s brokerage shared.
While volunteering earlier in the spring, the pair noticed how empty the shelves were and wanted to do something to help.
Donations came from the community, clients, local businesses, and agents wanting to help. O’Donnell and Harlock also reached out to client databases, posted to social media, and had other agents in the office participate by reaching out to their clients.
“We feel it’s really important to give back to the community and give back in a hands-on way rather than just writing a cheque,” Harlock said in an email.
Food insecurity has become more prevalent, and the team’s brokerage says their commitment to helping those in need has made a significant impact in their community.
We are very proud to have Lisa Harlock and Jack O’Donnell initiate this in tandem with our Brokerage. Their hard work made it a great success.
