On Wednesday, $19,125 (representing the funds raised from agent sales in 2022) was presented to local organizations that serve the homeless, feed children at schools and support youth at-risk organizations.
"Let's face it the real estate industry has been very good to us and we need to give back to our community where we are part of this great city and county and we think it’s important,” Rob Agnew, manager at Manor Realty in Windsor and member of the company’s Keys of Hope fundraising team, said.
This year’s beneficiaries are:
- Street Angels Leamington and Windsor Soup Program (The Soup Shack)
- The Inn of Windsor
- Leone House
- Student Food Programs at Westgate Public, Immaculate Conception Catholic Elementary, Marlborough Public, St. Angela Catholic Elementary and Coronation Public
