Beyond Selling Homes
As we head into the holiday season, it’s a wonderful time to give back and thank the communities that helped McEnearney Associates grow to the number-one hyper-local firm it is today.
For forty years, our firm’s focus has been on going above and beyond selling and buying homes for clients and building a brand that invests in the communities where we live and work.
In partnership with Rebuilding Together DC • Alexandria and Atlantic Coast Mortgage, McEnearney Associates rolled up their sleeves and got to work on 4 homes in our Alexandria community. We painted, landscaped, decluttered, organized, and rebuilt to help revitalize our communities.
We would also like to highlight some of the community organizations we have worked with over the years. Our individual Associates have also supported many more throughout the DMV. We offer our sincere thanks to these organizations that strengthen our communities and to all those whose donations of time, money, and resources make it all possible.
- ACT for Alexandria
- Animal Welfare League of Alexandria
- Boys and Girls Clubs of Greater Washington
- Carpenter’s Shelter
- Community Lodgings
- Hopkins House
- SCAN of Northern Virginia
- Senior Services of Alexandria
- The TWIG

If you had a chance to enhance a child’s future with a time commitment of less than 2 hours a week, how would you respond? You have that opportunity right now to join over 200 Alexandrians as a reading tutor volunteer with the Alexandria Tutoring Consortium (ATC).
ATC tutors work with one child in kindergarten, first, or second grade in Alexandria public schools who need extra help with reading. Tutors meet with their Book Buddy 1-2 times each week for 30 minutes October-May at school, during school hours. Many struggling readers only receive one-on-one instruction through this program, and it makes all the difference. Last year, ATC served 195 children, of whom 82% ended the year reading on grade level and 96% made substantial reading gains. But the need is great, and we are still seeing learning lags from the pandemic.
This year, ATC plans to significantly increase the size of the program to reach over 250 students and to serve every elementary school in Alexandria. This is very exciting news, but we will only succeed if we can recruit more tutors. ATC trains you, matches you with a child, and provides ongoing lesson materials and support.
