Grand Central Park, Woodforest Conclude 2024 Volunteer Program

MONTGOMERY, TX -- The Johnson Development communities of Grand Central Park and Woodforest wrapped up another successful year for the JDC Empowers Realtors volunteer program, making a positive impact on organizations across the North Houston region.

The program, which launched in 2023, encourages Realtors to help local organizations by volunteering their time. This year, Johnson Development employees and Realtors worked with four non-profits: Meals on Wheels, Inspiration Ranch, Sleep in Heavenly Peace and Montgomery County Youth Services. Johnson Development further aided their efforts by making a monetary donation of $2,000 to each organization.

“The program reflects our commitment to fostering a supportive and inclusive community,” said Monica Conchola, Realtor Relations Liaison for Johnson Development. “It’s a way to help our Realtor partners give back to the community. In addition to being fun, we get to know each other better and do some good at the same time.”

In February, Johnson Development sponsored Montgomery County Youth Services’ annual Yes to Youth gala and donated essential supplies to support the youth in their programs. The county organization focuses on the emotional and mental health development of youth and families by offering crisis intervention, counseling and suicide prevention services.

Thirty Realtors and team members rolled up their sleeves and repainted two horse pens in April for Inspiration Ranch, a Magnolia non-profit providing equine-assisted services.

September saw 50 volunteers gather to build nearly 100 twin beds for Sleep in Heavenly Peace, an organization whose mission is to provide beds to children in need.

The program wrapped up 2024 by helping Meals on Wheels. The organization, which promotes the independence and dignity of homebound seniors in Montgomery County, welcomed volunteers who helped prepare dog food for seniors with pets, Thanksgiving bags and breakfast bags.

“We are proud of our employees and the Realtors who donated their precious time,” Conchola said. “It was inspiring to see so many people come out to help the less fortunate in our community. We look forward to doing it again in 2025.”
