Eleven Windermere Bay Area Properties volunteers lent their time and support stocking shelves, replenishing vegetables, checking carts both in and out, and breaking down boxes to help the Alameda Food Bank distribute food and supplies to those in need.

Once a year, Windermere agents and staff dedicate a day of work to those in need, volunteering with community-based organizations ranging from senior centers to food banks and more. With more than one million hours of community service logged to date, Windermere agents across 10 states continue this tradition of giving back to their communities. Windermere’s Alameda office has been organizing a local day of service for the past 3 years.

“We’re so happy to have helped make the Alameda Food Bank’s job a little easier,” said Realtor® and Windermere community representative Catherine Bierwith. “Each year we donate our time to a worthy cause. For the third year in a row, we felt that the Alameda Food Bank is the best place we can use our time to help feed as many people as possible. The food bank’s dedication and constancy in our community means many people will not have to choose between either paying a bill or having a meal tonight.”

Windermere Foundation has been serving low-income and homeless families since 1989. Windermere Bay Area Properties encourages others to join in the fight against hunger by volunteering or donating to the Alameda Food Bank or other charitable organizations in the area.
