There’s more than Owning a Condo

Can by can, box by box, food donations have been marching through the door here at OwnACondo.com's Oak Brook headquarters, a real estate brokerage focused on selling condos.

Fueled primarily by our sales associates and office staff, but open to anyone who'd like to contribute, the food is being collected as part of a drive by MORe, the Mainstreet Organization of Realtors. As described in a Dec. 17, 2007 posting on this blog, MORe has been conducting the drive for many years around the holiday season. Last year the organization handed over more than 3,000 pounds to the Greater Chicago Food Depository, all from collections made by local real estate offices in MORe's west and south suburban coverage territory.

That's OwnACondo.com's office manager Victoria Ramirez, pictured, organizing some of the non-perishable food items collected so far. The drive continues until January 15, 2008. We'd love to see you at our offices with any donation you'd care to make. Non-food items such as toothpaste, deodorant, diapers, etc. are also needed. Just come to Suite 209 at 2001 Midwest Road, Oak Brook, any day between 8:30 a.m. and 5 p.m. until January 15. If your arms are loaded, just let us know so we can hold the doors for you!
