Today, the our team joined other local companies in volunteering at Baileywick Elementary School in honor of 9/11.

We’re grateful for the opportunity to come together, serve our community, and remember those whose lives were forever impacted.

Yesterday, a few of our team members had the opportunity to hear from Meals on Wheels of Wake County about the meaningful impact the organization makes in the lives of local seniors. After learning more about their mission, our team rolled up their sleeves and packed 117 breakfast kits to help support those they serve.

A big thank you to Sara Walker and Jill Straight for stopping by, sharing more about Meals on Wheels and giving us the chance to lend a hand!

Earlier this week, we had the opportunity to volunteer with the incredible team at Note in the Pocket.

From sorting donations to connecting with the mission of curing clothing insecurity, it was truly a rewarding and meaningful experience to help make a difference.

We’re grateful to support an organization that has such a positive impact on local families.

Marketing Manager Brooke Hanford serves on the board, helping drive its impact to the community.

Brokers Brian Wallace and John Kerr and Marketing Manager Brooke Hanford attended the Greenhouse Scholars Glass Half Full event on Tuesday—an inspiring evening centered on expanding access to opportunity.

Since launching in North Carolina in 2018, Greenhouse has supported more than 30 Scholars from our state, connecting them with mentorship, funding, and career opportunities that ripple back into local communities.

We’re especially proud that North Carolina donors and leaders now serve on Greenhouse’s Development and Advisory Board, helping ensure this impact reaches students and families right here at home.

Moments like these create a ripple effect toward meaningful change—proving that when people come together with purpose, impact grows far beyond a single night. York is proud to be involved!

We were honored to sponsor (and attend!) last night’s Gift of Home Celebration with Oak City Cares. As a company, it means a great deal to support an organization making such a meaningful impact in our community.

Together, nearly $350,000 was raised to help homelessness in Wake County – an incredible reflection of what can happen when a community comes together with purpose. Proud to play a small part in a big mission.💙

Did you know that Southlight Healthcare is North Carolina’s largest single-site opioid treatment provider? After learning more about their incredible impact, our team came together to assemble 150 winter-prep bags for their clients. Each package included a scarf, warm hat, gloves, socks, hand warmers, and a personal note of encouragement—ready to help someone facing homelessness stay warm this season.

We’re proud to support SouthLight’s mission where no one is turned away and hope is offered to hundreds every day. Special thanks to board chair George York for making this opportunity possible.

At York Properties, we are committed to making a positive impact in our community. Recently, our staff had the opportunity to volunteer at Note In The Pocket, a local organization dedicated to providing quality clothing to homeless and impoverished children and families in need across Wake and Durham counties.

Like Note In The Pocket, we believe that it is unacceptable that children are limited in their educational and social development because they do not have appropriate clothes for school. Note in the Pocket partners with school social workers and human service agencies in the Triangle to distribute clothing to children and families experiencing homelessness and economic hardship.

The devastation our neighbors in Western North Carolina have faced in the wake of Hurricane Helene is unfathomable.  This week we collected donations and are honored to have a very small part in helping those in need. 💙

Big thanks to our HR department for organizing, spreading the word, and running this effort!

This week we honored those lives lost and families forever changed on September 11, 2001. As a proud sponsor of Activate Good‘s 9/11 Day of Service and Remembrance, we enjoyed spending our morning beautifying the grounds and garden at Bugg Elementary School. We are very thankful to have employees who value giving back to the community in which we all live and work!
