Keller Williams Realty Acadiana has planned its annual day of service for agents this Thursday, May 14.
This year's event will look as dramatically different this year due to social distancing precautions.
The company says agents have organized into seven various projects to deliver aid in communities across three parishes. For more than fifteen years, the local affiliate of Keller Williams has organized R.E.D. Day, to “Renew, Energize, and Donate” with the time, talent and resources of independent real estate agents who have a passion for their hometowns, a release states.
Keller Williams agents have planned these events for R.E.D. Day, May 14, 2020:
- Feed the community, in partnership with Fezzo’s restaurant. To support those in need, Keller Williams agents will serve 1,000 lunches May 14. To honor healthcare workers, 250 meals will be delivered to nurses and other medical personnel at area hospitals, and the remaining 750 are available to anyone who picks them up until supplies last at the Keller Williams office starting at 11 a.m.
- Blood Drive, facilitated by Our Lady of Lourdes Blood Donor Center, from 10 a.m. until 2 p.m. at the Keller Williams office. A healthy individual at least 17 years old is a blood donor candidate. Call 337-470-2733 with questions or to schedule a 15-minute blood donor appointment. Appointments are encouraged but not required.
- Youth Book Drive, in support of Little Free Library. Agents have constructed new, free-standing structures to house donated books and will place these for use in Lafayette Parish. At these “little libraries,” anyone can donate, exchange or borrow books for free. Donate any gently used or new books for kids and teens now through May 14 during regular business hours at the Keller Williams office. Agents will install the libraries and books to sites across Lafayette Parish on May 14.
