Nothnagle Partners with Volunteers of America

Nothnagle Realtors has launched a company-wide volunteer effort in partnership with the Volunteers of America Children’s Center located on Lake Avenue in Rochester.

Through their Children’s Center, the VOA is delivering a wide range of programs through their state-of-the-art facility, which serves children from six weeks through 12 years of age. Children develop self-confidence, initiative and a positive attitude toward learning with age-appropriate curriculums for early childhood and homework assistance for school-age children.

The Children’s Center offers access to services that address the physical, social and emotional issues a child may be facing. Developmental and health screenings are offered to detect issues early on and to ensure school success. Telemedicine services are made available, allowing pediatricians at Strong Hospital to examine children and diagnose illnesses via the Internet.

On October 2nd, Nothnagle Realtors launched the volunteer program with the Corporate office volunteering for an afternoon in the Children’s Center. Volunteers spent time in the nursery and reading books to the 4-year old classes. Each month, at least one branch office will take a day to volunteer in the Children’s Center.

We have branches signed up for dates through June 2009. In addition to corporate affiliations with organizations like Volunteers of America, our individual branches and agents are involved with countless charities, youth groups, school activities and community fundraisers. A list of the community organizations we are involved in can be found on our website.
