RED Day 2019 Operation Safe Haven Tiny Houses For Veterans. Franklinville, NJ

On May 9th Our Offices Worldwide Took Time To Donate Time And Resources To Those In Need

RED Day 2019 is a day to Renew Energize and Donate back to the community.  This year we were able to help a fantastic organization called Operation Safe Haven.  This organization provides free tiny houses to veterans and also provides support services and a community food pantry for veterans in the community.  Right now they have 3 homes up and they are expecting more coming later this year.

We had many projects going on for red day and about 150 volunteers from Keller Williams Realty Atlantic Shore and Washington Township offices.  We were also joined by many community members who volunteered their time and expertise.  Some of our projects included renovating a pump house, putting a new roof on a bath house, cleaning up debris from a demolished building, cutting trees, chipping wood, raking leaves, splitting wood and more.  If you would like to learn more about this organization or sponsor a Veteran please visit https://opsafehaven.com/.
