Guarantees 50k to the Organization Between a
25k Donation and a 25k Social Media Donation Drive
OneMain Financial announced today its partnership with Operation
Homefront, a national nonprofit organization whose mission is to
build strong, stable and secure military families. OneMain’s
donation to Operation Homefront seeks to further their mission to
support wounded warriors and military families in the communities
they’ve worked so hard to protect. Throughout the month of
November, OneMain will be increasing awareness for Operation
Homefront and their mission through a cause marketing campaign on
their social media channels. With the goal of raising up to
$26,000, OneMain will donate $3 per action (like, reaction,
comment, etc.) they receive on Facebook, Twitter, or Instagram
posts mentioning Operation Homefront now through November 30. Limit
one action per post per person. To further their support, OneMain’s
foundation will donate an additional $25,000 to Operation
Homefront’s Critical Financial Assistance Program. This program
assists military families with crucial financial obligations, such
as mortgage payments, rent, utilities, car and home repairs,
overdue bills, baby supplies and groceries.
“OneMain is committed to supporting the communities where our
team members and customers live and work, and with over 1,600
branches in 44 states, many of our locations are close to military
bases,” said Kim Wijkstrom of OneMain Financial. “We see the
struggles that military families and veterans face and are proud to
partner with Operation Homefront, whose mission is to help these
local heroes who have served and protected our country. We are
honored to be working with this amazing and important
organization.”
In addition to the donations and social media campaign, OneMain
will also conduct a holiday gift card drive at their corporate
sites in Evansville, IN, Baltimore, MD, Wilmington, DE, Chicago,
IL, London, KY, Fort Mill, SC, Mendota Heights, MN, Irving, TX and
Tempe, AZ. With the help of Operation Homefront, OneMain employees
will donate gift cards and thank you notes which will be delivered
to various military bases during the holiday season.
“Operation Homefront is very excited about our partnership with
OneMain Financial,” said Jill Eskin-Smith, Senior Director of
Corporate & Foundation Partnerships for Operation Homefront.
“We're grateful for their commitment to making a positive
impact on the lives of those who have served our nation,
and look forward to working together to build strong, stable, and
secure military families.”
OneMain is also developing a company-wide program to hire
veterans and military family members to help them adjust to
civilian life. They plan to utilize their strong relationships with
colleges and business fraternities across the country to recruit
veteran students and graduates for jobs and internship programs at
local branches. To further engage these students, OneMain will have
their veteran team members serve as mentors, offering them guidance
in adjusting to the business world through mock interviews, resume
assistance and financial literacy lessons.
