DINGMANS FERRY — Better Homes and Gardens Real Estate Wilkins & Associates gave back to the community by sponsoring families that are on the Children and Youth program of both Monroe and Pike Counties. Dominick J. Sacci, the company’s VP/GM says, “Every year we are given the Christmas wish lists of several families on the C&Y program. Caseworkers talk to the foster children and families to find out what they’d like for Christmas. We then collect donations, shop to fulfill the lists, and hand deliver the truckloads of gifts to Children and Youth”. “Typically we get strong support from our company in all eight of our offices,” says Yarrow Wilkins, President, we were thrilled with the generosity of our agents and staff this year. Even in this challenging real estate market many wanted to give back to the community”. Nancy Frantz, Stroudsburg office manager says, “What tugs at your heart strings is it’s hard to believe there’s so much need for basic essentials, the children are not asking for video game systems, they are only asking for things like pants and shirts. Especially among single parent families, coats and clothes are at the top of many lists but we always make it a point to add toys on top of what the families ask for for the children in the family”. “We love being a part of it,” remarks Sacci, and says our company is happy to make a corporate contribution along with employee donations every year to help local families enjoy a Merry Christmas. “Welcome to the Neighborhood” Better Homes and Gardens Real Estate, Wilkins & Associates has eight offices that serve the entire Pocono Mountains, North Pocono/Moscow, and historic Milford areas.
