The Coldwell Banker Residential Brokerage offices in Boston’s Back Bay, South End and Jamaica Plain neighborhoods recently donated $4,000 to support Homes for the Holidays, an annual fundraising event that benefits Victory Programs in Boston. The donation was made through Coldwell Banker Residential Brokerage Cares, the company’s charitable foundation.

“We are very pleased to be able to provide this donation to assist individuals and families in need. Unfortunately, there are many families that are facing hardships and are in great need of housing and supportive services,” said David Whitman, chairman of the Homes for the Holidays celebration and a sales associate affiliated with the Coldwell Banker Residential Brokerage office in Back Bay. “Victory Programs provides critical services to help improve the lives of many local families.” Whitman serves on Victory Programs board of directors.

Since its inception in 1975, Victory Programs has expanded to 19 health and housing programs in Boston, Cambridge and Topsfield, helping more than 2,600 homeless individuals and families get back on their feet every year. Victory Programs provides services to people who are facing homelessness, addiction, mental illness, or chronic health issues such as HIV/AIDS, providing clients with the tools needed to transition to healthy, self-sufficient lives.

Homes for the Holidays is a festive annual celebration that raises money for Victory Programs. This year’s event is taking place December 11 from 6 p.m. to 9 p.m. at the Club Café in Boston.
