CRE Gives Back During Annual Day of Service

Christina River Exchange takes pride in supporting our neighbors within the community. Every year, CRE teams up with their affiliate brands The Buccini/Pollin group and BPGS Construction, and associates spend an entire day giving back to the local community by providing volunteer services during our annual Day of Service. Through a coordinated, associate-led effort, we were able to help 12 organizations in the Wilmington, DE area this year, many of which we have supported for years. With multiple service opportunities and varying activities, associates were able to select a volunteer option they are passionate about. This year, our associates volunteered at the following organizations:

• Claymont Boys & Girls Club

• Ministry of Caring Child Care Center

• Kingswood Community Center

• Ronald McDonald House of Delaware

• Delaware Humane Association

• City of Wilmington Herman Holloway Park

• City of Wilmington Clifford Brown Plaza

• New Castle Country Hope Center

• Neighborhood House

• Sunday Breakfast Mission Thrift Store

• Sunday Breakfast Mission Shelter

• Saint Peter’s Cathedral School

During this unprecedented time, now more than ever before it is important to give back to the most vulnerable in our community as we are all in this together. We encourage you to help all of the wonderful organizations above as well on your own time or through monetary donations.

CRE Participates in Annual Day of Service 2020

This year has been unlike any other, and similar to many events, our annual Day of Service looked a little different amidst the pandemic, but we were still able to get together as a team and spend an entire day giving back to the local community in Wilmington, DE.

On October 2nd, CRE joined associates from The Buccini/Pollin Group and BPGS Construction at Bellevue & Alapocas State Parks to clean up the grounds, including mulching, pulling vines, weed pulling, raking, edging, stone work, and much more.

Christina River Exchange believes one of our most important responsibilities is giving back to the community where we live and work. Through charitable giving and volunteer service, we strive to be a champion for our underserved communities.
