When Amanda’s not working hard for her clients, she can be found somewhere in the community. With roots in affordable housing, she continues to support the Better Housing Coalition and Richmond Redevelopment Housing Authority.

Last week, she teamed up with The Underground Kitchen to help further their mission of bringing hope + healthy food to RVA and beyond and feeding the mind, body and soul one meal at a time. The team delivered and served Thanksgiving meals to senior residents of affordable housing developments, ensuring everyone had a full belly and a reason to smile this holiday season. 🦃❤️
