A Keller Williams agent in the Old Town Alexandria office, Jon Benya, has rented a 53-foot truck and is driving to the KW Cares Command Center in Houston, filled with donations to aid the relief efforts. Keller Williams is opening its offices to Alexandria and the surrounding areas, to drop off donations to help fill the truck. More than 195 agents in the Alexandria office are reaching out to their communities to provide an opportunity for those who want to be involved.

Thousands of agents are expected to be arriving to further organizational efforts.
