MADISON VOLUNTEER OPPORTUNITIES
GIVING BACK TO OUR COMMUNITY
At the Cheng Real Estate Group, we’ve always believed in helping our community grow. We do this not only by helping people find the perfect home within it, but also by supporting organizations that help the Greater Madison Area.
A few weeks ago, we wrapped up an amazing 2018 by asking all of you through our Facebook Page to suggest a recipient for a special holiday donation. The participation and engagement was beyond what we could have hoped for. We received many wonderful suggestions and got the chance to learn about many outstanding organizations that make our community a truly wonderful place to live.
In our business, we come across many people that come from out of town, out of state, and even out of the country, and that are looking to find organizations in their new city to support. With this article we seek to support all the incredible organizations we learned about during our holiday donation contest, while at the same time providing those who are looking to become more involved in the Madison community with a number of amazing non-profits that are deserving of donations and volunteer help. So if you’re looking for volunteer opportunities in and around the Madison area, please take a look at the organizations below and make sure to click through the “read more” link to learn how you can become involved with them.
Enjoy!
