CHICAGO, IL – During the month of June, Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices Chicago, in conjunction with its Kindness Foundation, celebrates Community Kindness, their annual company-wide array of philanthropic activities. Agents and staff from the company’s 25 offices select an organization within their local community to support and volunteer their time and talents. The Kindness Foundation is a 501(c)(3) charitable organization whose mission is to support meaningful local initiatives that improve the communities it serves and enhance the quality of life for fellow citizens.
A sampling of the 2021 Community Kindness activities throughout Chicagoland include: document shredding events, beach and Park District cleanup, school supply drives, food, donation and pet supply collections, efforts to help local restaurants and hospital staff, volunteer shifts with Meals on Wheels, Habitat for Humanity, Northern Illinois Food Bank and The Lakeview Food Pantry.
Joe Stacy, Senior Vice President, General Sales Manager and Kindness Foundation Chairman, said, “Kindness is a big part of our company culture and watching how the seeds of that have grown is really heartwarming. This annual event gives our agents and staff yet another avenue to spread kindness in their local communities. It’s one of my favorite events and has taken on greater meaning due to the pandemic. I think people and organizations alike need a little extra TLC at this time and we’re happy to lend a hand where we can.”
