Avery-Hess, Realtors® is spreading its teal color throughout the D.C. metro area for a new purpose. Through its Teal for Good initiative, the brokerage’s real estate professionals are selling teal pashmina scarves and donating all of the profits to local charities that provide housing solutions for those in need. 

“Everyone deserves the safety and comfort of home,” says Scott Avery, president of Avery-Hess, Realtors®. “Through this initiative, we’re working towards making that happen.”

Each time a teal scarf is purchased from an Avery-Hess team member, all of the profits support helping those in need find the safety and comfort of home.

Each of Avery-Hess’s seven offices chose to support an organization within its own local community, allowing the agents to be active partners in the chosen causes. To learn more about Teal for Good, visit teal4good.averyhess.com.

  Profits from the Teal for Good initiative will support:
