Parker Group to host Day of Kindness and open house Nov. 28

The Parker Group, a local real estate brokerage serving Delaware and Maryland, is gearing up for its Day of Kindness Tuesday, Nov. 28. During the annual company event, Parker Group team members volunteer in the community and spread some holiday cheer.

Leading up to the event, the company is collecting donation items for local charities like the Shepherd’s Office, Sussex Crisis Center, Home of the Brave, Redemption City and Refuge of Hope. The community is encouraged to bring donations to The Parker Group's office ahead of the event to help the group make a big impact. The company will deliver these donations to the respective organizations Dec. 28, to bolster the inventory of critical supplies for local nonprofits during the busy holiday season. The Parker Group team will also spend the day volunteering at the Brandywine Valley SPCA.

The Parker Group invites the public to a holiday open house from 2 to 5 p.m., Dec. 28, at 673 N. Bedford St., Georgetown. Activities will be planned for the whole family to enjoy, and there will be a festive hot cocoa and cookie bar.

Local photography studio Ginny Art Studios will be hosting winter wonderland-themed holiday photo sessions in the office from 2 to 5 p.m. Sessions will feature a beautiful, snowy forest backdrop and include one 5-by-7-inch print and social media digital image, plus a free personalized ornament. At 3 p.m., Kent County Candles will host a special holiday candle-making class, where attendees will craft an artisanal candle with a bonfire starter. Preregistration is required at theparkergroup.com/dayofkindness. In partnership with Santa’s Letters Inc., a portion of the funds raised from both activities will be used to support Christmas purchases for its adopt-a-family program.
