It’s not unusual for businesses to perform community service, but this is the first time I’ve heard of an entire company with multiple locations closing down for a whole day to do it.

On Thursday, all offices of real estate company Keller Williams closed and 75,000 real estate agents and other workers — 130 of them in three offices in Greater Hartford — volunteered time in the community.
In Greater Hartford, Keller Williams performed repairs and other work at six group homes operated by HARC, a Greater Hartford-based not-for-profit that helps those with intellectual challenges and supports their families.
The company’s fourth annual “Red Day” takes its name from the company color and stands for the acronym “Renew, Energize and Donate.”
Does your company have multiple locations, perhaps in several states, and close down for an entire day to perform community service? What do you do in the community?

We applaud Keller Williams for doing such a great act of kindness and hope this spirit of paying it forward will spread throughout the country. Thank you Sir.
We are also a struggling non-profit that could use help from volunteers. If possible, we would like to be included and know about your next volunteer day. We operate a Veterans Memorial in CT and have a great need for volunteers to help with repairs and maintenance.
