Pay It Forward - Giving Where You Live

By
Real Estate Agent with Keller Williams Indy NE 317-290-7775 www.marchantteam.com

Every year I volunteer to spend a day with my Keller Williams office "Giving Where We Live".  Mo Anderson is a key part of the Keller Williams organization and May 12th is her birthday.  To honor her dedication to helping others and her founding The Marchant Teamof our National KW Cares organization, every KW office in the country donates a day of service in her honor.  Kind of cool.

This year our local offices volunteered at the Third Phase Christian Center. It is a home in Noblesville, just north of Fishers that has 33 rooms and is on 10 acres of land.   Two of the bedrooms are for emergency shelter (people living in their cars, evicted from their homes, etc). 

Everything that happens at the Center helps women to know Jesus Christ and to help them improve their self image, teach them basic life skills and to put an end to their self destructive behaviors of drugs, alcohol and violence.

Today my team (minus one ...because someone needs to be selling real estate!) spent the day at Third Phase.   There was so much to do; I floated from weeding, to painting, to stacking firewood, to cleaning out kitchen cupboards and counters...to say I am exhausted would be an understatement. 

I could did complain that I am too old or too busy to do this work; but at the end of the day...giving where I live felt good.  Not only giving, but interacting with the agents in my office felt good.  I bet I had more conversations today with people I care about than I typically do in a week of visiting the office for various reasons.

At the end of the day, the best way to take the focus off of you and what issues are in your life...is to put your focus on someone else.

Cindy, we are doing some volunteer work for our community next month, too.  We are helping the city of West Memphis to clean up after the flood.  It is important for us to do something and give back to our community.  Good job, my friend!!

Cindy, it sounds like you and your team had a great day of hard working helping others in your community.  We partnered with Habitat For Humanity for our Red Day project in Lafayette.  Well done to the Marchant Team!

Cindy is always good to give without expecting nothing in return. We should always remember and never forget that God sees all of our Good deeds. You never know how God is going to repay you. Thanks for sharing. Great post.

And this one is definitely worthy of a feature. Some of us need to understand that we shouldn't always be thinking about Real Estate 24 hrs a day. 7 days a week. 365 a year. Great post Cindy.

Giving Back always feels good. You're to be commended for taking the time and the energy. So very few people go out of their way for others.
