We are committed to giving back on an ongoing basis," explained John Maleno, founder of Maleno. 

The donations from Erie Gives Day and all other donations help to continue this work.  "We are truly grateful for the Erie Gives Day donations': said Natalie Washburn, Broker/Owner of Maleno Real Estate.  "But we want people to know they can donate any time throughout the year through the Give Back section in our website.  The cost of repairs continue to climb and we rely on the donations from local organizations and people within Erie County to continue our work."
