JACKSONVILLE, Fla. - eTradeWire -- Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices Florida Network Realty announces the company's Metro Offices of Avondale/Ortega and San Marco/San Jose took part in Family Support Services of Duval and Nassau Counties' annual Be an Angel holiday drive for the fifth consecutive year. The initiative is an effort to make the holidays extra special for First Coast children in foster care.

The company's Realtors and employees purchased gifts from a child's wish list or made a monetary donation so that the children receive holiday presents they would not otherwise be able to enjoy this time of year. The Metro offices team collected and purchased gifts for 50 children in foster care in Duval County.

"We are so proud of our Metro team and their continued support of the Be an Angel campaign to ensure all children have a gift under the tree," said Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices Florida Network Realty President Ann King. "One of our greatest joys as a company is supporting charitable organizations that make a positive difference in the lives of many local children and families."

Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices Florida Network Realty Realtor Kimberly Waterhouse leads the real estate firm's Be an Angel participation.
