KELLER WILLIAMS AGENTS TO COLLECT DONATIONS FOR EDGEWATER FIRE VICTIMS
January 27, 2015
RIDGEWOOD, NJ – On Saturday, January 31st from 10am to 3pm,
four Keller Williams Realty sales associates will be collecting donations to help Avalon
apartment complex residents displaced by the devastating fire last week in Edgewater, New Jersey. The collection will be held outside the Ridgewood Fire Department headquarters, located at 201 East Glen Avenue (at the intersection of Maple Avenue and East Glen Avenue) in Ridgewood.
Requested items include toiletries such as shampoos, soaps and diapers, along with
ready-to-eat meals, pet supplies, and gift cards. No clothes are requested at this time. The collection will take place at the Jolly Trolley, which will be parked outside the fire station.
Maureen Ale, REALTOR® associate with Keller Williams Town Life in Tenafly and
owner of the Jolly Trolley, along with Crystal Burns and Rebecca Miller Pringle, also
REALTOR® Associates with KW Town Life and Susan Greenbaum, REALTOR® associate with Keller Williams Village Square Realty in Ridgewood, developed the idea to have residents drop off donations at the Trolley.
“When we heard about the fire, we all wanted to do something proactive, so the four of
us visited the Ridgewood Fire Department to see what could be done,” said Greenbaum. “After sharing our idea with the firefighters and fire Captain Hellerman and Chief Van Goor, we all felt this would be a great way to help the residents of the Avalon during this very difficult time.” The FMBA Local #47 has already generously donated ten $25 Walmart gift cards.
The Jolly Trolley is an actual trolley bus with all interiors seats removed. Ale, who
typically uses the Trolley for birthday parties throughout Bergen County, couldn’t think of a better way to have the Trolley help make a difference in a community.
If you would like to help victims of the Avalon apartment complex fire in Edgewater,
please bring your donations to the Trolley outside Ridgewood Fire Department headquarters this Saturday, January 31st between 10am and 3pm. Ale, Burns, Greenbaum and Pringle will be on hand to accept your donations before bringing the Trolley down to Edgewater to personally deliver the items.
Individuals with any questions regarding this collection may contact Crystal Burns with
Keller Williams Town Life at (201) 925-1228.
