Coldwell Banker provides meals to hungry

RUMSON, N.J. – (April 28, 2016) – Volunteers from the Coldwell Banker Residential Brokerage Rumson/Fair Haven real estate office purchased, cooked and served meals to the hungry at the Community Church of Keyport’s Bayshore Lunch Program as part of the Coldwell Banker Residential Brokerage Cares Day event in April.

The Rumson/Fair Haven office raises money year-round for the program – about $100 a month – and has volunteered on every third Wednesday of the month for over a year. Affiliated agent Liz Scott purchases most of the ingredients. Everyone in the office is always on the lookout for good deals, such as hams that are on sale. Volunteers gather at 9:30 a.m. at the church and cook ham, green beans, Scott’s homemade macaroni and cheese (her secret recipe) and salad. They usually serve about 50 people, but there have been as many as 80.

All 52 real estate offices affiliated with Coldwell Banker Residential Brokerage in New Jersey and Rockland County, N.Y. gave back to local communities via charitable efforts as part of the fourth annual Coldwell Banker Residential Brokerage Cares Day event.
