(L - R): Joe Carton, Senior Construction Superintendent, Habitat for Humanity, accepts a $15,000 donation from Union Bank Vice President, Employee Engagement Leader Cindy Molina and Managing Director and Head of Consumer Lending Jim Francis. The bank’s Consumer Lending Division contributed more than 400 volunteer hours to build houses in the new Elm Street Community in Escondido.

ESCONDIDO, CA (JUNE 9, 2015) – To honor its commitment to give back to the community, more than 50 Union Bank Consumer Lending Group volunteers participated in a day-long home building event in San Diego Habitat for Humanity’s (SDHFH) Elm Street Community in Escondido on Saturday, June 6. Union Bank is a sponsor of the Elm Street Community and has donated more than $15,000 through its Foundation to SDHFH.

The Elm Street Community provides affordable homeownership opportunities for local families in need. Eleven new homes are being built, including one home to serve a disabled veteran and their family. The expected completion date is September 2015.

“We are proud to partner with San Diego Habitat for Humanity to serve our community and to help make homeownership a reality for these families,” said Jim Francis, Union Bank Managing Director and Head of Consumer Lending. “Our Union Bank team is committed to giving back not only through grants, but also through volunteer service.”

The bank also sponsored and participated in Habitat for Humanity’s Women Build event in May. Collectively, Union Bank volunteers have donated approximately 400 volunteer hours to build SDHFH houses.

“We thank Union Bank for their support of our Elm Street Community and for their volunteer hours to help make the dream of homeownership come true for a family,” said Lori Pfeiler, President/CEO, San Diego Habitat for Humanity. “Through such generous community support, we are able to provide deserving families with not only homes, but hope.”

The new Elm Street Community homes will have three bedrooms and two bathrooms and are approximately 1,300 square feet. Each family will have a covered carport and private backyard, and there are two common recreational areas planned. The project budget is $2.6 million, or $236,363 per home.
