Morton Penrith Team Spreads Holiday Cheer Through Volunteering
On December 12th, the Morton Penrith team dedicated their time and energy to bring joy to those in need within their local community. The team gathered at Penrith’s St Stephen’s Anglican Church to help put together and hand out gifts and hampers. Their efforts ensured that many families had a brighter and more joyful Christmas.
A Day of Giving and Joy
The day was filled with various roles, allowing volunteers to experience different aspects of the event. Whether it was helping in the toy room, gift wrapping, assisting with kids’ activities, or serving food, each role played a vital part in making the day a success. Volunteers were encouraged to swap roles halfway through, providing a well-rounded experience and fostering a sense of camaraderie.
For the children who attended, small craft activities were available, adding an extra layer of fun to the day. A sausage sizzle and refreshments were offered to all staff and volunteers, ensuring everyone was well-fed and energised.
Heartfelt Reflections from the Team
Jamie Bae, one of Morton Penrith’s sales agents, shared her thoughts on the day: “It was a rewarding and delightful day to be able to share in the happiness and joy of those who received gifts through the volunteer work.”
Anu Budhathoki, Morton Penrith’s leasing agent, expressed his gratitude: “It was a great pleasure to be a part of this volunteering program. I really enjoyed handing out gifts and helping the children and parents choose a gift on this special occasion. It really made me feel like I was making an impact in these people’s lives as I saw their genuine smiles and gratefulness. It was truly my pleasure to experience the joy of giving back to the community.”
Jenny Camilleri, Morton Penrith’s senior property manager, found the experience eye-opening: “I found the experience very rewarding, being able to help out the less fortunate people of our community who were doing it tough over Christmas. It was a real eye-opener to see just how vulnerable some people are, and how ignorant we can be as we go about our daily lives.”
The Importance of Giving Back in the Real Estate Industry
The real estate industry plays a significant role in shaping communities. By giving back, real estate professionals can foster stronger, more connected communities. Volunteering and community involvement help build trust and demonstrate a genuine commitment to the well-being of the community. It also provides an opportunity for real estate professionals to understand the challenges faced by residents, allowing them to better serve their needs.
Moreover, giving back can enhance the reputation of real estate firms, showcasing them as socially responsible and compassionate organisations. This not only attracts clients but also inspires other businesses to follow suit, creating a ripple effect of positive change.
In conclusion, the Morton Penrith team’s volunteering efforts exemplify the spirit of giving and community support. Their dedication and compassion have made a meaningful impact, reminding us of the importance of helping those in need, especially during the holiday season.
