The Giving Goods Program

The GIVING GOODS PROGRAM

HomeServices of Nebraska is excited to announce a successful pilot of the New Giving Goods Program. Launched in March of 2018, the Giving Goods program provides our customers the opportunity to donate items they can’t take with them on their move to local organizations serving people in need. Typical items include things like beds, dressers, couches, end tables, book shelves, refrigerator, rugs artwork, and other home goods. When customers request the services, the Giving Goods Program schedules a free at home up pick up and then delivers the items to our partners organizations such as; Habitat ReStore Lincoln and the People’s City Mission.

I think this is a service - one that we can promote to clients as a service no one else provides."

As of August 1st, 2018, the Giving Goods Program has generated 50 requests with an estimated donation value of $20,000. This service is currently available to HOME Real Estate and Woods Bros Realty customers in the Lincoln area. However, plans are already in place to expand this program offering to include our wider service area of Beatrice, Seward, York and Grand Island.

Giving Goods Program Director, Jason Schmit, says, “This is a program we can include in all our listing presentations and offer all our customers. Not only is it a great service to be able to offer, the benefits to our community are significant. This is a true win/win situation for all involved.”

Marketing materials such as the program flyer and program business cards can be picked up from the Marketing Coordinators at each office. The link to the request form can also be found under “Services” on the HOME and Woods Bros website, on the main page of Digidesk, or direct at www.givinggoodsforgood.com.
