Keller Williams helps hands-on Haiti relief

Keller Williams Realty has supported relief efforts in Haiti by donating money both corporately and at the local office level, but the KW Advantage Realty office in Toronto recently managed to lend their support on a more personal level. The office collected and delivered basic medical and food supplies directly to the people of Haiti with the help of some organizations.

The Dream Project, a U.S.-based non-profit organization that operates out of the Dominican Republic, together with a group called Hands for Haiti, delivered much-needed medical and food supplies by truckload to Port au Prince and nearby affected towns and villages.

A single email to the associates and staff of KW Advantage Realty in Toronto resulted in the office collecting several crates of supplies and some toys in just a matter of days. Money was donated from the office’s KW Cares fund, a trust normally used to support Keller Williams agents and their loved ones in times of significant financial hardship, to purchase additional supplies.

In the end it took over a dozen boxes, the special co-operation of Air Canada, the aid organizations and the dedication of several real estate professionals to deliver these supplies and play a part in bringing relief to a country that has experienced such loss and hardship.
