The Wells Fargo Housing Foundation
One of the country’s largest and most reputable mortgage
lenders, Wells Fargo Home Mortgage not only offers you numerous
options for affordable home owning, but also strives to reach
the community and help to make dreams come true for families
less fortunate.
Wells Fargo’s mission is to serve the community as
a partner in homeownership initiatives. In conjunction with
many other non-profit and local organizations with the same
goal, the Wells Fargo Housing Foundation aims to accomplish
its goal of service by giving donations for repairs and one-time
expenses for low income families as well as money support
for organizations that provide housing for those without homes.
Wells Fargo also supports services such as counseling and
job training, and donates as much as possible to social programs
for the homeless and less fortunate.
Some partners of the Wells Fargo Housing Foundation include
Habitat for Humanity, HomeAid America, Neighborhood Reinvestment
Corporation and Rebuilding Together. As a team, all of these
organizations work at achieving the same goal of making dreams
come true. Not only is this Wells Fargo’s way of saying
“Thank You” to its customers and business partners,
but also its way of extending its hand to the community and
saying “We Care.”
Some projects that the WFHF has sponsored include volunteer
efforts in constructing and remodeling over 1,000 homes for
low-income or first-time buyers, supporting and sponsoring
the Jimmy Carter Work Project in July of 1994 and Habitat
for Humanity’s construction of a home for the Cheyenne
River Sioux tribe in Eagle Butte, South Dakota, participating
in many other life-altering house building projects organized
by Habitat for Humanity, and contributing large money donations
to HomeAid, one of America’s largest missions to shelter
and counsel homeless individuals.
Wells Fargo also sponsored Habitat for Humanity’s First
National Ladies Build in 2000, led by the sitting governor
in such states as Iowa, Texas, Arizona, Minnesota, Illinois,
Montana and South Dakota.
Wells Fargo knows that community service takes an abundance
of time and effort in addition to money, and is dedicated
to coming through with that service to gradually make positive
changes one project at a time. |
