Coats for Kids

 

Coats for Kids Coat Drive - Since 2007 JBGoodwin REALTORS® teamed with Coats for Kids to provide coats for over 1000 needy kids! We collect coats door to door and at each of our three offices.  This is such a great charity.  Donated coats are collected by volunteers, cleaned by a donation from Jack Brown Cleaners, and then redistributed by volunteers directly to those in need.  So every donation of time, coats, or money goes directly to those in need.

Austin Habitat for Humanity This is a really cool charitable organization that goes so well with those people interested in real estate or helping others.  I volunteered on our office team that "deconstructed" a house in Rob Roy.  That's right, not only does Habitat build houses, but they help in the demolition of homes for remodeling or to build a new house on the same spot.  The materials that are salvageable are sold at the Habitat Re-Store which helps fund the construction of houses.  All those salvaged materials don't end up in land fill.  We had a great time and it was all for a good cause!

 United Way Capital Area - This is a visionary organization whose slogan is Change Central Texas for good.  I served on a Community Investment Review Team and I was a member of a Leadership Council.
