Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices Florida Network Realty proudly announces the company’s Metro Offices of Avondale/Ortega and San Marco/San Jose are supporting Family Support Services of Duval and Nassau Counties’ annual Be an Angel holiday drive, an effort to make the holidays extra special for First Coast children in foster care.

The company’s Angels buy gifts from a child’s wish list or make a monetary donation so that the children receive holiday presents they would not otherwise be able to enjoy this time of year. The Metro offices team collected and purchased gifts to make Christmas wishes come true for 50 children in foster care in Duval County.

For the fourth year, Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices Florida Network Realty Realtor Kimberly Waterhouse managed the real estate firm’s initiative. Additionally, Waterhouse secured a generous $20,400 donation from the Gray Family Foundation that will help fulfill Christmas wishes for additional children served by Family Support Services.

“As we celebrate our fourth year of providing Christmas for 50 children in foster care, we are filled with immense gratitude for the amazing team of Realtors at the Metro Offices of Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices Florida Network Realty,” said Waterhouse. “This holiday season, we come together with a shared purpose — to bring joy, love and hope to children who deserve to feel special and supported. Thanks to the generosity of our team and our community, we are able to make this holiday season brighter for these children, and we are deeply thankful for the opportunity to continue this tradition of giving.”

Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices Florida Network Realty is among Family Support Services’ top donors supporting the Be an Angel campaign – the agency’s largest giving program of the year.

“Our heartfelt gratitude goes to Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices Florida Network Realty and the Gray Family Foundation for their unwavering dedication to supporting our community’s children through Be an Angel,” said Leigh Ann Luttrell, Community Engagement Manager for Family Support Services Duval and Nassau Counties. “Their steadfast support brings joy to children in foster care during the holidays, and their partnership is vital to the success of our programs throughout the year.”

“One of our greatest joys as a company is supporting charitable organizations that make a positive difference in the lives of many local children and families,” said Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices Florida Network Realty President Ann King. “We are so proud of our Metro team and their support of the Be an Angel campaign to ensure more children can have a gift under the tree.”
