More than 4000 sales associates and employees from the company’s 62 offices volunteered at over 85 organizations. Each fall, the Tri-State area’s largest realtor closes its doors for the company-wide Community Service Day so that sales associates and employees can spend the day at local non-profits helping to paint, repair, stock food banks, and cook meals to help the less fortunate in their communities. “This annual day touches all of us, volunteers and recipients alike,” explains President of Fox & Roach Charities Kassie Erb, “ and we are pleased to be able to continue to offer more than the financial support we donate, contributing an entire day to help with much-needed projects. This is our way of giving back to those communities that support us.”

Fox & Roach Charities has contributed over $4 million since its inception to more than 250 local community organizations in the Greater Philadelphia and Tri-State areas.
