When you buy a home with The Renfeld Group, you’re not just finding the right address. You’re joining a bigger story. Shelby Renfeld and her team believe that real estate is about people first, not just transactions. Their motto, "Opening Doors to Better Lives," reflects their mission to serve others through both their work and their giving. Guided by the belief that “when you’re given much, you give much,” The Renfeld Group supports organizations that bring hope and comfort to the community. Each home sale helps provide meals for seniors, shelter for military families, and resources for students and teachers. It’s about more than closing on a house. It’s about opening hearts.
Comal County Senior Citizens Foundation
Aging should be joyful, not lonely. That’s why the Comal County Senior Citizens Foundation (CCSCF) has become a lifeline for older adults in the community. Their programs focus on four key areas: nutrition, fitness, education, and social connection. Every weekday, seniors gather for hot congregate meals, and for those who cannot leave home, Meals on Wheels ensures no one is forgotten. Last year alone, CCSCF provided more than 121,000 meals at no cost to seniors, veterans, and disabled adults.
But food is only the beginning. Seniors can join group exercise classes, enjoy live music on Fridays, play games with friends, or even head out on bus tours. For those with pets, AniMeals delivers food and helps with veterinary needs so beloved companions can stay healthy, too. These services do more than fill a calendar. They improve energy, self-esteem, and mental health, while reducing the risk of hunger and isolation. By partnering with CCSCF, The Renfeld Group helps seniors stay active, independent, and connected, reminding them that they remain a vital and loved part of the community.
Fisher House Foundation
For military and veteran families, medical emergencies bring enormous stress. On top of the worry for their loved one, there are often heavy financial burdens from travel and lodging. Fisher House Foundation provides relief by building comfort homes located near major military and VA medical centers worldwide. Families stay free of charge in private suites with shared kitchens and cozy living areas, giving them both privacy and community during hard times.
The story of Fisher House began with Zachary Fisher, a builder and philanthropist who believed one person could make a difference. He and his wife, Elizabeth, committed more than $20 million to build the first houses. That single act of kindness has grown into a network of over 90 homes that have served more than half a million families. The Renfeld Group is proud to support Fisher House because it keeps families together when togetherness matters most.
Homes with Heart
For Shelby Renfeld and her team, success is measured in more than awards or sales numbers. It’s about creating ripples of kindness in the community. Each home they help buy or sell touches lives beyond the front porch, reaching seniors who need a hot meal, veterans’ families who need a safe place to stay, and children who need school supplies. When you work with The Renfeld Group, you’re not just moving into a house. You’re helping build a better tomorrow, one family at a time.
"For us, success means more than awards or sales volumes. It’s about creating a ripple effect of good." - Shelby Renfeld
