Upcoming office events for charity and Foundation fundraising

The holidays are a busy time of year for most charities supporting low-income and homeless families. If you are looking to find some good ways to give back, join our Windermere offices by adopting a family in need, attending one of these great fundraisers, or dropping off food or warm coats and blankets at a participating office.

Join the Windermere, Cronin & Caplan Group in Portland November 18th through 20th for food, libations and holiday shopping. The Windermere offices will be hosting ten local artists and a percentage of all sales will go to the Windermere Foundation.

Windermere Coeur D’Alene is collecting donations of turkeys and other Thanksgiving fixings this week for the Community Action Partnership food bank through next week.

The Windermere Seattle-Queen Anne office is collecting non-perishable food items for Northwest Harvest through November 22nd.

Windermere North will be volunteering at Christmas House on December 16th for the fourth year in a row. Christmas house is a great organization that provides gifts for low-income parents to select for their children for free.  If you are interested in participating with the Windermere team contact Claudette Meyer at 425-776-1119.

Windermere North will also be adopting families for the holidays. This Windermere Team has a longstanding relationship with Deaconess Children’s Services, serving Snohomish families. This year the office adopted 21 individuals comprising 7 families. Agents will all be shopping for individuals on their list. The office will also provide food certificates for all families.

If you are in the Oregon or Sothern Washington go here to find one of the thirty-six Windermere offices collecting coats and blankets for various charitable organizations. Offices will be collecting warm items for low-income and homeless families through December 17th.
