At Houlihan Lawrence, we believe giving back moves everyone forward.
Throughout the year, and especially during the holiday season, Houlihan Lawrence agents go above and beyond to support their local communities.
Here are just a few of the ways our agents and offices are coming together to help spread holiday cheer North of NYC.
The Metalios Team Gives Back in Greenwich
Each Thanksgiving, the Metalios Team in our Greenwich brokerage honors their incredible clients with a Pie Party. The team pairs the tradition with generosity, collecting donations for Neighbor to Neighbor, a Greenwich non-profit dedicated to strengthening the community by providing access to nutritious food, clothing, and other essentials. This year, the Metalios Team also adopted a family for the holidays through the Greenwich Department of Human Services, and awarded a $1,000 scholarship to a Greenwich High School senior.
In addition, the Metalios Team is proud to have donated over $65,000 to New Story, an organization transforming lives by 3D printing homes for families.
Yonkers Supports Toys for Tots
Each year, the Houlihan Lawrence Yonkers office, led by agents Robert Mangieri and Shirley Jacobs, supports organizations by providing toys to children who are less privileged. Rob is actively involved with Toys for Tots of Westchester County sponsored through the Marine Corps Reserve of Westchester, and Shirley is actively involved with The Footprints Family Toy Drive.
Both accomplish more than just putting smiles on the faces of children on Christmas morning. These programs have far-reaching quality of life and social developmental benefits for these children. These programs also help the parents of these children provide a more stable, loving family life.
Donations are collected in the Yonkers office, with a goal of making the holidays merrier for those families less fortunate.
Chappaqua Supports the Community Center of Northern Westchester
The Houlihan Lawrence Chappaqua brokerage is hosting a ‘Share The Warmth’ drive supporting the Community Center of Northern Westchester. For over 30 years, the Community Center of Northern Westchester has been a hub of emergency resources, offering support to help food-insecure neighbors enhance their well-being and achieve self-sufficiency.
Donations of new, unwrapped pajamas and cozy blankets for newborns through age 18 can be dropped off at the Houlihan Lawrence Chappaqua brokerage Monday through Saturday.
Larchmont Supports a Local Food Pantry
Agent Laura Conway Fried and Pam Joyce lead the Houlihan Lawrence Larchmont office in supporting the Larchmont Mamaroneck Hunger Task Force Food Pantry with a food drive. The Larchmont Mamaroneck Hunger Task Force Food Pantry is a nonprofit all-volunteer organization dedicated to assisting local families in need. The food pantry distributes nutritional bags of groceries to residents of Larchmont and Mamaroneck.
Rye Supports Families In Need
Houlihan Lawrence Rye agent Donna McElwee is a longtime supporter of The Children’s Collective, a Rye-based nonprofit dedicated to supporting families in need in Westchester County. Donna champions the organization year-round, serving as the office liaison for the Annual Coat Drive each fall, organizing the Holiday Angel program, and thoughtfully coordinating gift pairings for children of all ages.
Each year the Houlihan Lawrence Rye office fulfills all of the gift requests from The Concourse House, a Bronx-based nonprofit that works to eliminate homelessness by providing safe, stable, transitional housing for families. Partnering with The Children’s Collective, Donna and the Rye team provide unwrapped, age-specific gifts, allowing parents to “shop” for their children and select items that reflect their interests and needs, adding a deeply personal touch to the experience. The program also extends support to expectant mothers preparing to welcome newborns.
In addition, the Houlihan Lawrence Rye brokerage was a sponsor of the Season of Giving at the Square House Museum hosted by the Rye Historical Society. The annual Tabletop Tree Fundraiser took place during the event, with attendees bidding on beautifully decorated tabletop trees from some of Rye’s favorite designers.
Bronxville Supports Feeding Westchester
The Houlihan Lawrence Bronxville brokerage hosted a month-long food drive supporting the Grace Baptist Church food pantry. Thanks to generous donations, the team completed two donation runs, donating food in November and December and helping ensure families in need are supported throughout the holiday season.
Armonk Supports Toys for Tots
The Houlihan Lawrence Armonk brokerage is again hosting a toy drive benefiting Toys for Tots of Westchester County. Donations of new toys can be dropped off at the Houlihan Lawrence Armonk office until December 21.
In addition, each year the Armonk brokerage participates in the annual Frosty Day festivities. The annual tradition celebrates Frosty returning to his hometown of Armonk with a day of family activities, including a parade, the annual holiday lighting ceremony, and a sing-along.
Houlihan Lawrence Corporate Supports HELP USA
The Houlihan Lawrence corporate office is again hosting an annual toy drive in support of Harlem’s HELP USA shelter. HELP USA works to ensure that everyone has a place to call home by providing shelter to meet people’s immediate needs, as well as support to succeed as individuals, as families, and as communities.
This year the Corporate team will be helping bring joy to 30 children from resident families.
