| More than 50 CBRE volunteers from across the New York Tri-State offices joined non-profit Rebuilding Together's NYC affiliate to refurbish Hudson Guild Community Center's Fulton Senior Center at 119 Ninth Ave. The project was part of CBRE's annual “Get Out and Give Back†month. CBRE volunteers (including Meredith Belland Heidi Gorman, above) painted the facility's library activity room, installed shelving and furnishing, and built benches for the garden. Employee donations, supplemented by CBRE Foundation's fund-matching contribution, financed the $10k project. |
