Throughout the entire month of June 2022, agents and staff of Richard A. Zuber Realty will be collecting nonperishable food and toiletry items for the nonprofit organization Veterans Making a Difference. The organization is dedicated to helping veterans in need in Berks County.
Items are being collected at Zuber Realty’s Boyertown and Royersford offices throughout the month with special collection days scheduled at the Boyertown office on June 11, 2022, from 10 a.m.-4 p.m. during Berks-Mont Business Association’s Philadelphia Avenue Street Fair and at Boyertown’s Redner’s Market on June 18, 2022, from 8 a.m. to 2 p.m. Donation of cash, checks, or gift cards are also accepted and encouraged.
Giving back to veterans is an honor and a privilege for Vanessa Deskie, real estate agent with Richard A. Zuber Realty and member of Zuber Realty’s Community Outreach Committee. “Generations of my family have served our country,” Deskie explained. My family’s service includes my grandfather’s and father-in-law’s service in WWII, my dad’s tenure in the army between wars, my uncle’s tour in Vietnam, my cousins’ service in Iraq, and many more past relatives dating back to the Civil War.”
“Thanks to the generosity of the shoppers, we’ve routinely collected 10 or more grocery carts packed solid with items on their way to Veterans Making a Difference,” noted Jody Dolansky, chairwoman of Zuber Realty’s Community Outreach Committee. “We’re inspired each year to exceed our previous donations.”
“We’re inspired also by the assistance of Boyertown’s State Theatre that donates free screen advertising throughout June in support of veterans by encouraging folks to donate to our food drive,” noted Deskie. “Any help that folks can provide by sharing information about the food drive is appreciated, she continued. “Social media can be a valuable tool to generate support for this effort.”
In celebration of Independence Day, on or around July 4, 2022, Rich Zuber will load up the Zuber bus with the communities’ donations and head to the Veterans Making a Difference headquarters in Reading, PA.
Drop off points: Zuber Realty’s offices are located at 201 E Philadelphia Ave, Boyertown, and 384 N Lewis Road, Royersford; Redner’s Market is located at 116 County Line Rd, Boyertown, PA
