Millwood and Oakwest Pinnicle Neighborhoods Help "Stuff the Trolly"

On Saturday, November 10th, my Buyers Specialist, July Hong, and I walked the neighborhoods of Millwood and Oakwest Pinnacle and picked up canned goods they left for us. The previous weekend we left a flyer and a brown paper sac on each door step marketing the event. They flyer informed the neighbors that we would be in their prospective neighborhoods picking up the sacs if they wished to participate. The following Tuesday and Thursday we called all the neighbors reminding them of the event. The canned goods are going to be donated to Food Link during this month's "Stuff the Trolley" event. Keller Williams Realty will be "stuffing the trolley" on November 21st. This was our effort to get our neighborhoods involved in a great community event. We have helped many homeowners buy and sell in both neighborhoods, it was  a great way to meet all the neighbors and formally introduce ourselves.

On Saturday, July and I met up at 10 am with our little red wagons and started up and down the streets. We had great feedback, excellent participation, priceless conversations, and it was a good workout! I even had a couple of embarrassing moments where a bag tore because it was stuffed full of cans and all the goods went rolling in the streets! Sorry, no pictures of me running around collecting rolling cans in the middle of the street laughing at myself. :) I'm sure there was a neighbor or two looking out their window chuckling. I think I'm going to blame that one on the Bucz's in the Millwood subdivision, they donated the most goods with a total of six bags FULL!! Thank you Bucz Family!!

 

Good thing we brought a truck!!

We look forward to making this an anual event and meeting more and more of the great families in each neighborhood. Maybe next year we can get the Trolley to come to us!

If you would like to participate too, it's not too late! Give me a call and I'd be happy to stop by and pick up your donation!
