Washington, D.C. (May 28, 2014) – Coldwell Banker Residential Brokerage, Mid-Atlantic recently partnered with the United Way for its third annual Families Living United Healthy Food Week. The weeklong campaign took place in the beginning of May, and Coldwell Banker offices in Baltimore, Washington, D.C. and the Maryland and Delaware Beaches collected over 66,300 pounds of healthy non-perishable food.
“I am thrilled with the results of this year’s Healthy Food Week, it was another remarkable year,” said Dean Cottrill, president of Coldwell Banker Residential Brokerage in the Mid-Atlantic region. “Coldwell Banker believes very strongly in giving back to the community and I hope that through our involvement and support, we have helped give families the resources they need to maintain a healthy diet.”
Families Living United Healthy Food Week benefits United Way’s Access to Healthy Food Initiative, which aims to expand access to nutritious foods for low-income individuals and communities who lack the resources necessary to consume a healthy and consistent diet. Key to the initiative is its focus on nutritious food. Food insecurity is correlated with an increased susceptibility to illness and negative health outcomes like diabetes, heart disease and childhood obesity. It is also shown to slow cognitive development among children – affecting their ability to succeed in school and beyond.
