Thank you Wells Fargo!

Mission Statement: Wells Fargo area Vice President, Nicole Burrell-Birt, spoke about their

partnership with NOHFH saying that Wells Fargo will be there to partner with NOHFH for the

long run. The Wells Fargo vision: “We want to satisfy all our customers’ financial needs and

help them succeed financially. Our vision has nothing to do with transactions, pushing products

or getting bigger for the sake of bigness. It’s about building lifelong relationships one customer

at a time.”

Wells Fargo awarded NOHFH a grant for repairing at least six homes damaged by Superstorm

Sandy. Recently the Wells Fargo Housing Foundation awarded NOHFH a second grant known

as its Team Member Volunteer Program (TMVP) grant. The Wells Fargo Housing Foundation

awards TMVP grants which are made possible through the volunteer support provided by Wells

Fargo team members working alongside NOHFH. The grant will specifically fund a portion of

two NOHFH projects: (1) new construction of an energy efficient home for a family of seven set

to begin shortly in Berkeley Township, where the Wells Fargo Housing Foundation joins a group

of partners that includes the Ocean County Vocational Technical School and (2) one A Brush

With Kindness project for a disabled veteran in Toms River Township. Wells Fargo volunteers

will assist in exterior repairs to this senior widower’s home.

As a leader in community development, Wells Fargo offers a free, web-based financial

education program. The Hands on Banking®program, and its Spanish-language counterpart,

El futuro en tus manos®, offer financial information, tools, and skills in an easy-to-understand,

entertaining format. Please visit the website at www.handsonbanking.org
