Verani Realty Work with Greater Manchester Habitat for Humanity
Bedford agents roll up their sleeves and spend day volunteering - delivers $5,000 for new house at 262 Lowell Street in Manchester
On a typical day, Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices Verani Realty’s Bedford agents are on the road or in their offices, helping clients find their forever homes. But this week they laced up their work boots, rolled up their sleeves, and headed to a construction site instead to help build a forever home for a single mom, and they brought a big check with them.
Agents spent a volunteer day with Greater Manchester Habitat for Humanity sawing, drilling, and hammering at 262 Lowell Street in Manchester. The property was once a duplex and is being transformed into a five-bedroom, three-bathroom house. It is Greater Manchester Habitat’s tenth house. In addition to lending their hands to the project, agents delivered a $5,000 check from VeraniCARES to help purchase supplies. VeraniCARES engages Verani Realty agents and employees in philanthropy and social development by giving them the opportunity to raise funds through donations. Verani Realty matches up to $10 per donation.
"Spending the day with Habitat for Humanity was a great opportunity for our agents to connect outside of the office, and it was a lot of fun," said Cammie Ferreras, Regional Manager of Verani Realty's Bedford office. "Most importantly, our time and our dollars are going to help a single mom and her kids have a forever home. Our office chose to donate to Habitat for Humanity because as Realtors, we see every day the important role that home plays in all of our lives. We can't wait to see the finished result for this family."
