Jack Lingo Realtor personnel volunteer with Sussex Strong Christmas gift project

December 23, 2019

Santa's helpers from the Sussex County Association of Realtors’ Sussex Strong project gathered at the Rehoboth Beach Walmart to purchase Christmas gifts for needy children throughout Sussex County.

Sussex Strong members donned their favorite elf outfits and selected Christmas presents for more than 300 children in need. The team provided necessities such as coats, socks, gloves, hats, and of course, toys.

More than 60 volunteers and 20 Cape Henlopen High School DECA students participated. Jack Lingo Realtor agents taking part included Kristina Lingo, Karen Maull, April Irelan, Molly Bayard, Melinda Ingram, Jessica Shomper, Tracy Kelley, Ava Cannon and 2020 Sussex Strong President Robb Kimbles.

Almost 100 volunteers came out to the Rusty Rudder in Dewey Beach Dec. 12 to wrap the gifts. Volunteers included local Realtors, affiliates, and family and friends of SCAOR board members. After the wrapping was complete, local service centers picked up the gifts for distribution to families.

Wrapping volunteers from Jack Lingo Realtor included Robb Kimbles, Kristina Lingo, Rick Zimmerman, Camilla Conlon, Jessica Bradley, Marissa Murr, Sherri Martin, Karen Maull, Marylou Reynolds, Ian Lawrence, Michael Edelin and Meghan Shupe.

Kristina Lingo, rental agent at Jack Lingo Realtor and past president of Sussex Strong, said, "This year's wrapping event seems to have drawn a much larger number of volunteers than previous years. Everyone involved was extremely grateful for and touched by the opportunity to help serve our neighbors in need."

Jack Lingo Realtor team members are immensely proud of all the agents and staff who give back to the community. The company remains fully and proudly committed to #GivingWhereYouLive.
