Our Story

At Sherwood & Company, we’ve always believed that real estate is about more than property — it’s about people, families, and the neighborhoods we share. Our work puts us in living rooms and kitchens across our community, and we see firsthand the challenges many families face: rising costs, limited resources, and complicated financial systems that can feel overwhelming to navigate.

During the uncertainty surrounding the 2025 government shutdown and the potential loss or delay of SNAP benefits for many families, we saw something clearly — sometimes, even stable households can find themselves one unexpected moment away from not having what they need. And when that happens, it shouldn’t be met with shame, silence, or being left to figure it out alone.

So we created the Sherwood & Company Charitable Foundation, Inc. as a way to step in, neighbor to neighbor, where support matters most.

What began as a plan to simply help families bridge the gap in access to food quickly revealed a deeper need: clear, accessible education around real-life finances, housing, credit, retirement planning, and homeownership. Not the kind of advice found on the internet in a million pieces — but practical, understandable guidance that builds confidence and stability over time.

We realized we didn’t just want to help families get through the week.
We wanted to help families build security for the years ahead.

Today, the foundation supports families in two ways:

Immediate Support
Food, school supplies, and essential items for families experiencing financial strain.
Long-Term Empowerment
Free educational workshops and one-on-one guidance on budgeting, credit, mortgages, retirement basics, and navigating homeownership — taught with patience, warmth, and real-world clarity.

Because strong communities aren’t built by institutions alone.
They’re built by neighbors looking out for neighbors, one act of care and one shared conversation at a time.

This is our commitment:
Support today. Stability tomorrow. Opportunity always.

And we’re grateful to be doing it right here, at home.
