Harry Norman, REALTORS®, Atlanta and North Georgia’s premier luxury real estate firm, is proud to announce the completion of its fifth annual Harry Norman Cares initiative. Over 100 Harry Norman, REALTORS® and employees gave back to Metro Atlanta families in a multitude of ways, including packaging and donating 1,520 care kits for Ronald McDonald House Atlanta, and volunteering with several other Metro Atlanta local nonprofits, including Canine Assistants, FurKids, The Orange Duffle Bag Initiative, and The Sandwich Project.
 
“With this year marking both Harry Norman's 95th anniversary and the fifth year of our ‘HN Cares’ initiative, we considered how we could make an even greater impact on the Metro Atlanta community,” said Jenni Bonura, President & CEO of Harry Norman, REALTORS®. “We decided that in addition to partnering with the incredible Ronald McDonald House Atlanta as a company, we would support each of our offices in choosing an individual local organization to volunteer with, serving as an opportunity to connect even further with those in need within their communities.”
 
This was the fourth year in a row that Harry Norman, REALTORS® partnered with Ronald McDonald House Atlanta as the main organization for its companywide ‘HN Cares’ initiative. The real estate firm chose to support Ronald McDonald House Atlanta once again because of its extensive reach across Atlanta and incredible capacity to support families in need. The organization provides comfort, care, and stability to families during challenging times, and its purpose aligns perfectly with Harry Norman, REALTORS®'s commitment to making a positive impact in the community.
 
The initiative began this year on Sept. 23, when Harry Norman, REALTORS® invited agents, staff, and members of the public to donate items for care kits with different themes, including “Personal Care,” “Laundry Essentials,” and “Grab-and-Go Snacks.” The care kits are useful for RMHA families because they make it easier for them to grab snacks and drinks, toiletries, and laundry items when heading to the hospital to see their sick children, or during an emergency, when families otherwise may not have time to pack those items. After the donation period ended on Oct. 20, Harry Norman agents and employees came together at their local offices to package the donated items into 1,520 care kits to be delivered to RMHA for distribution. With this year’s donation, Harry Norman, REALTORS® has donated a total of 6,321 care kits to Ronald McDonald House Atlanta since first partnering with them in 2022.
 
Along with the care kits, Harry Norman’s individual offices selected their own organizations to coordinate additional opportunities for helping Metro Atlanta students in need, addressing food scarcity, and assisting local shelter animals.
 

• The North Office volunteered with FurKids, the animal rescue organization that operates the largest cage-free, no-kill shelter in the Southeast for rescued cats and Sadie’s Place, a no-kill shelter for dogs. 

• The Atlanta Perimeter Office volunteered to make sandwiches for The Sandwich Project, a nonprofit that delivers fresh sandwiches to local Atlantans in need of food.

• The East Cobb Office held a Silent Auction to support Canine Assistants and The Orange Duffel Bag Initiative. Canine Assistants places service dogs with people who have mobility difficulties, Type 1 Diabetes, epilepsy/seizure disorders, and other special needs, and The Orange Duffel Bag Initiative provides coaching and support to Georgia students in need.

• The Intown Office volunteered at a BeltLine Connector Volunteer Day, helping to clean up the BeltLine.

• Lastly, the Woodstock Office sponsored Parent Night at the local Carmel Elementary School, grilling, preparing, and serving 600 meals to students and parents.

 
"We are incredibly proud of the success of this year’s initiative, and grateful to those who donated items for care kits, as well as our dedicated agents and staff who donated items and volunteered within their local communities,” said Bonura. "Being able to support organizations close to home that do such important work for the communities we serve is a direct reflection of our values at Harry Norman.”
