St. Louis Office Supports U.S. Troops and Families In celebration of Independence Day, the St. Louis office sent a care package to deployed U.S. Soldiers stationed in Iraq. Cushman & Wakefield employees donated food, shampoo, batteries and other common necessities, as well as, a personalized letter with hand-written words of encouragement and signatures.

Additionally, as part of this donation, they also sent the soldier’s family a care package to help them through the difficult time of having a family member on duty overseas. The St. Louis office chose a U.S. soldier named, Chase, and his family to receive the generous donations. A special thank you to Alexandra Spezia , Manager, Project Designer, for leading this philanthropic initiative.
