Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices Verani Realty last month collected more than 14,000 pounds of food and donated $20,000 to local food banks during its 10th Annual Food Drive, supporting organizations and families across Massachusetts, New Hampshire, Maine and Vermont.
Throughout September, Verani Realty agents, employees, clients and community members collected nonperishable food at offices and in neighborhoods throughout the region. Many agents brought the drive directly into the communities they serve, delivering collection bags to local homes and returning to pick up donations.
“For 10 years, this food drive has been about our agents, employees and neighbors coming together to help people right here in our communities,” said Margherita Verani, CEO of Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices Verani Realty. “Seeing more than 14,000 pounds of food donated this year is incredible, and we’re grateful to everyone who helped make it possible.”
The food collected was distributed to the Merrimack Valley Food Bank, New Hampshire Food Bank, Alton Food Pantry, SHARE Food Pantry, Upper Valley Haven, Saint Anne Parish Food Pantry, Liberty House and St. Vincent de Paul Food Pantry.
Verani Realty also donated a total of $20,000 to the New Hampshire Food Bank, Merrimack Valley Food Bank and Good Shepherd Food Bank of Maine.
“Real estate gives us the opportunity to be part of communities throughout the region, and we believe being part of a community means showing up for it,” said Giovanni Verani, president of Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices Verani Realty.
The annual food drive is part of VeraniCARES, the company’s community outreach initiative. For the past decade, Verani agents and employees have worked alongside clients, local residents and community partners to help stock food banks and pantries throughout the areas the company serves.
