BURKE, VA /October 7th, 2008 Van Metre Companies is to host their 1st
Annual “Month of Thanks” charity event at each Investment Property location.
During the month of November, residents and patrons can visit any Van Metre
Commercial Shopping Center or Apartment Community and donate items to help our
local community.
A donation box will be placed at each Apartment Community leasing office and
throughout Broadlands Marketplace and Stone Ridge Village Center. Each week, a
different charity is being spotlighted.
Week 1 (November 3rd-9th) - The charity is “Women Giving Back,” which focuses
on providing clothing, shoes, and accessories for women and children emerging
from the homeless system and re–establishing themselves in homes of their own.
They aim to offer women proper clothing for interviewing and working in
professional jobs.
Week 2 (November 10th-16th) – The charity is “Operation Turkey,” which
collects non-perishable food for the less fortunate.
Week 3 (November 17th-23rd) – The charity is “Friends of Homeless Animals,”
which collects new or used items to support local non-profit animal shelters.
Items needed include rope slip leads, medical supplies, blankets, towels, cat
and dog toys, food, cat litter, etc.
Week 4 (November 24th-30th) – The charity is “Toys for Tots,” which collects
new, unwrapped toys during October, November and December each year and
distributes them as Christmas gifts to needy children in the community in which
the campaign is conducted.
Van Metre looks forward to making this an annual event as part of their
charitable contributions throughout the year. More information on each charity
