Morgan Nowland cleans the bottom of the pool Thursday at the Chambliss Center for Children. Keller Williams agents spent the day volunteering at the center.An army in red T-shirts fanned out across the Chambliss Center for Children on Thursday, stripping wallpaper, pulling up weeds and sprinkling mulch wherever needed.
The work was part of the fifth annual Keller Williams Realty Red Day, when the company’s offices across the country close their doors for business and agents get out in the community.
“It’s a great way to help the community and give back, because they give so much to us,” said Teresa Clegg, an affiliate broker at Keller Williams’ Hixson office.
Darne Ridgley, an assistant broker at the downtown office, said nearly 83,000 Keller Williams agents were participating nationwide.
“We have people across the [country] today who have shut down their offices to work in the communities that they live in,” Ridgley said. “It’s my favorite day. I love it.”
