Kristin Johnston's Give Back Program

As many of you know, I am passionate about animals.  Years ago, I decided to create my GIVE BACK Program.  As part of that program, I am happy to donate to an animal shelter or rescue in my client's name upon closing.  If the client is not an animal lover, and prefers to have me donate to another organization, I am willing to do that too.  I have done this for years and years and really believe it sets me apart from my competition.  For me, it is about so much more than just getting a paycheck at the closing table.  Of course, I typically also give my client some other gift at closing, such as a gift card  to a home store or their favorite restaurant, or some other product I heard them mention that they like over the course of the transaction. 

 

I was happy to donate to the following animal rescues/charities over the course of 2017:

 

HAWS, Humane Animal Welfare Society in Waukesha, multiple donations

Wildlife In Need Center

Food Pantry of Waukesha County

Hurricane Relief Hand In Hand

Angels Grace Hospice of Oconomowoc

Waukesha County Food Bank

Feeding America Program

K9 Mission and Rescue

Elmbrook Humane Society

American Cancer Society

St. Jude Children's Research Hospital

WI Humane Society

NAMI Waukesha

Salvation Army

ASPCA

MS Society

Kristin, with so many people becoming passionate pet lovers, your giving back to aid pets will certainly hit a high note. And yes, I believe they will remember what you do.

Thanks for sharing.

Kristin!!! I didn't know this about you! Yet another thing that is wonderful and something you and I have in common. I'm a HUGE animal lover and each January, I give to whatever charity my clients in the past year are passionate about, but if they need a few choices, I always offer 3, and at least one and more often two, are animal related, ALWAYS. I have rescued so many critters that I can't even count, and volunteered at the Oregon Humane Society (got my dog, Butterscotch from there, when I was doing pet therapy...gosh, she was a wonderful "daughter" for almost 15 years), I sponsor a wolf at WolfHaven International, click on the Animal Rescue Site every day to give free dishes of food to animal shelters, etc. so I'm right beside you on the quest for giving every animal a fair chance!! Good for YOU!!

This type of work says so much about who you are ... what kind of human you are, Kristin Johnston - REALTOR®  And I suspect that it also is indicative of the kind of care and attention to detail that you provide your clients ...
