Collier Group Home Recipient of Keller Williams’ RED Day Event

Collier Group Home, a program of Collier Youth Services, is thrilled to announce that they are a recipient of Keller Williams Central Monmouth’s 2021 RED Day Event--Keller Williams’ annual day of giving.

Collier Group Home in Red Bank, is a safe haven for 10 young girls, ages 13-18 who have survived significant trauma, abuse, or neglect. The residents live together in a warm, attractive setting, staffed 24 hours a day by professional counselors, where they receive in-depth counseling and life skills training in order to reunite with their families.

Thanks to a longstanding relationship with Keller Williams Agent, Laura Maguire, Collier Group Home has been named a recipient of the Keller Williams’ RED Day event held on May 13, 2021. This annual day of giving started in 2009 for agents to give back to their communities through a variety of ways including service projects like building new homes, gathering food for those in need, and organizing relief efforts. Keller Williams agents will be collecting personal hygiene products for the residents; household items like towels, sheets, pillows, and duffle bags; as well as gift cards for residents to enjoy typical “teen experiences” such as going to the movies, out for ice cream and pizza, and Great Adventure.

“We are so excited about the Keller Williams RED Day and incredibly grateful for being chosen as a recipient,” stated Maureen Kale, Director of the Collier Residential Program. “Youth who reside at Collier Group Home have endured significant trauma in their young lives and the kindness of the Keller Williams’ staff helps renew their faith in the goodness of others.

Collier Group Home staff and residents will be at Keller Williams Central Monmouth location on May 13th between 9 AM and 3 PM to pick up the much-needed and much appreciated donations. Sr. Debbie, Executive Director of Collier Youth Services, and Nancy Coviello, Keller Williams Team Leader, will be at the location between 11:30 AM and Noon.
