At Union Home Mortgage, we believe that everyone deserves the right to responsibile homeownership, but we also realize that for some families that dream is a bit further out of reach. That's why we created the UHM Foundation, to equip families with the tools and resources to achieve economic self-suffieincy. We do this by supporting nonprofits and programs that focus on four key building blocks: housing, financial literacy, career readiness and education. Since our inception, the UHM Foundation has awarded more than $1 Million to nonprofits across our business footprint, but what's more important is that we follow that financial support with the time and talent of our partners at Union Home Mortgage. Our annual Partner Backpack Project is a wonderful collaboration between the Foundation and the partners at UHM, with branches across the United States serving as local drop off locations and hosting drives to benefits nonprofits and schools in their areas.
