Coldwell Banker Helps Habitat for Humanity

Chester Real Estate Agents Helped Build Habitat For Humanity Home For Coldwell Banker Cares Day

CHESTER, N.J. (June 17, 2019) – Volunteers from the Coldwell Banker Residential Brokerage Chester real estate office took part in a Habitat for Humanity home construction project as part of the Coldwell Banker Residential Brokerage Cares Day community service event in May. This new home in Dover will benefit a local family in need.

Approximately 25 volunteers contributed their time and effort to help in constructing a new, three-bedroom Cape Cod-style home on a donated lot, replacing a home that was damaged in a fire and subsequently demolished. The recipients are a mother and her four sons, aged 15 to 25, who currently share a small, two-bedroom apartment in the attic of a home. The prospective residents will contribute at least 300 hours of sweat equity to their new home, assisted by volunteers.

“I am proud of the volunteers from this office who contributed so generously to the local community. They give back all year, and Coldwell Banker Residential Brokerage Cares Day is an opportunity to make a positive impact on a regional level,” said John Varriano, branch vice president of Coldwell Banker Residential Brokerage in Chester. “I also want to thank Kevin McCarthy, who served as Cares Ambassador and organized this project.”
