VOLUNTEER SPOTLIGHT
“These families struggle to make ends meet,” Frederick says. “They work hard just to pay rent and utilities, and they cannot afford back-to-school items for their children.” So as soon as the emergency appeal came in, Frederick hit the phones, turning to her always-generous co-workers. Within hours, many Majestic employees had agreed to donate personal checks for $200, which would then be matched two-for-one by the Majestic Realty Foundation’s employee matching program. Thanks to Jean’s quick thinking and action, Majestic provided forty-eight children with backpacks, school supplies and a complete outfit, including shoes, socks and underwear, for the new school year. Combined with an additional $2,500 grant, in total seventy-three children received their supplies for the first day of school. For more information about Henderson Allied Community Advocates, visit www.hacafrc.org ON THE WEB: Majestic Realty Foundation’s donation to the Back-to-School event is currently featured on the home page of the Henderson Allied Community Advocates (HACA) website.
