Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices Florida Network Realty is helping to make the holidays extra special for children in foster care.
The company’s Metro Offices of Avondale/Ortega and San Marco/San Jose supported Family Support Services of Duval and Nassau Counties’ annual Be an Angel holiday drive, an effort to make Christmas extra special for First Coast children in out-of-home care. Angels buy gifts from a child’s wish list or make a monetary donation so that the children receive Christmas presents they would not otherwise be able to enjoy this time of year.
For the second consecutive year, Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices Florida Network Realty Realtor Kimberly Waterhouse managed the real estate firm’s initiative. With the support of the Metro offices team, she collected and purchased gifts to make Christmas wishes come true for 40 children in foster care. Additionally, Waterhouse secured a generous donation from the Gray Family Foundation that will help fulfill Christmas wishes for more than 200 children served by Family Support Services. Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices Florida Network Realty is among Family Support Services’ top donors supporting the Be an Angel campaign.
“We are so proud of our Metro team and their support of the Be an Angel initiative to ensure more children can have a gift under the tree this Christmas,” said Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices Florida Network Realty CEO Kevin Waugaman. “Our company is committed to making a positive difference in the lives of many local children and families, and we are grateful to be in business with such dedicated, talented and passionate professionals.”
“Family Support Services is extremely grateful to Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices Florida Network Realty for its efforts securing donations for our Be an Angel holiday drive,” said Leigh Ann Luttrell, Family Support Services of Duval and Nassau Counties Community Engagement Manager. “The gifts will mean the world to those receiving them, and we are so appreciative of the generosity demonstrated to our children in care.”
