During the last week in September, Bartlett Real Estate Group – Keller Williams Realty –partnered with The Capital Area Food Bank of Texas for their annual community-wide food drive.  Carrie Mendez of Bartlett Real Estate Group said, “After all that has happened in the Four Points area this year with the fires and so many in need, we were just blown away by the generosity of the community…we collected more food than ever!  For the second year in a row, our neighbor Steve Lancashire of Wheaton Vans Lines generously loaned us one of his moving trucks which we filled with food for those in need!”  

Wheaton Van Lines is part of a nationwide non-profit program called “Move for Hunger.” Move For Hunger is a non-profit organization that works with moving companies across the country to pick up unwanted, unopened food from those who are relocating and deliver it to local food banks across the country.  “Move For Hunger has given our company the opportunity to promote hunger awareness to each and every one of our customers,”  says Steve Lancashire of Wheaton Van Lines.  “We are so excited to team up with Bartlett Real Estate Group on this project in a time when the food bank needs it the most.”

AUSTIN, Texas – In an effort to provide clothing and other necessities to the victims of the fires in Steiner Ranch, Leander and Bastrop, Bartlett Real Estate set up a clothing drive at their office (6816 RR 620N) today, September 7^th from 8am to 5pm.  Within minutes of opening, they were overwhelmed by the response of the community coming together to help their neighbors.  “People have been bringing not only gently used articles of clothing but brand new items as well.  One person showed up with what must have been $300 worth of kids’ underwear and socks!” said Marissa Radack of Bartlett Real Estate. Jason Stubbs with Heavenly Care Moving was generous enough to donate one of his trucks which will be used to deliver the donated items. Bartlett Group agent and Steiner Ranch evacuee, Stacey Rider was the organizing force behind the effort as she had the personal experience of having to leave her home in Steiner with only ten minutes of notice.  “My husband and I didn’t even have a moment to talk as we systematically packed our two cars with our pets and whatever personal items we thought were important.”  Rider said.  “My eight year old daughter, Emma, became hysterical when we got the call to evacuate so I told her to go pack some of her toys and tried to keep myself as calm as possible.”
