during annual Orange Week
MIDDLETOWN, Rhode Island, July 9, 2024
/PRNewswire/ -- Embrace Home Loans, a top-ranked national mortgage
lender, celebrated its 41st year of business in June

highlights:

dozen Rhode Islanders.

Middletown operations support team
created bookmarks and birthday decorations for hospitalized
children through the Confetti Foundation.

Humane Society, helping with dog walking and other care items for
the shelter animals.
- Enhancing Senior Living Facilities: Middletown and East
Providence closers and underwriters worked together to
restore outdoor furniture at the Saint Elizabeth Community, an
elderly care facility.
- Preserving History: Newport human resources, licensing and talent
development members worked at Common Burial Ground to clean
tombstones at the historic cemetery.
- Supporting Underprivileged Families & Their Pets:
Accounting and risk management team members worked with the Potter
League Animal Shelter to bag dog food for underprivileged
families.
- Fighting Food Insecurity: The Northeast/Boston team assembled food packages for more
than 200 families through Neighbors in Need.
- Home Improvement for Seniors: The Rockville, Maryland office worked with
Rebuilding Together to help an elderly couple improve the living
conditions of their home.
- Cleaning Up D.C. Parks: The Ashburn and Fairfax,
Virginia offices helped clean up Washington D.C. parks.
"The best way to celebrate our anniversary is to give back to
the communities we serve," said Ryan "Buddy" Hardiman, president of
Embrace Home Loans. "I'm incredibly proud of our team members for
donating their time to so many worthy causes. At Embrace, we strive
to make a positive impact on others, whether it's helping people
achieve homeownership or providing support where needed."

earnings to charity. Over the past decade, the company has given
more than $25 million to worthy
causes. Employees can volunteer at an organization of their choice
for up to 100 hours while still receiving pay, and the company will
