BUFFALO, NY – On Thursday, July 13, HUNT Real Estate Corporation agents and employees across New York State participated in HUNT’s 1st Annual #WeLiveHere CommUNITY Day. The company teamed up with United Way chapters throughout Western and Upstate New York to take part in local community service projects, ranging from making meals and helping out at children's summer camps to painting, cleaning and landscaping. While the inclement weather last Thursday caused a handful of events to be postponed until a later date, a total of 17 community service projects were able to be completed across the state.
