Holiday Giving 2018
Cresa's Portland office got into the holiday spirit this year by adopting a local family in need. With help from the Christmas Family Adoption Foundation, the office was paired with a family of four, including two children ages five and three.
Off the family's wish list, Cresa's team purchased blankets, bed sheets, work gloves and boots for the dad, PJ's for the mom, bath toys, Spiderman toys, a battery-powered ride-on for the three year old and a new bike for the five year old (including new helmets for each!).
The team had so much fun shopping for, wrapping and assembling the gifts! At Cresa, finding ways to give to our local communities is such an important part of who we are. The Portland team looks forward to building on this tradition for years to come.
