Wells Fargo donates mortgage-free homes to combat-wounded veterans and Gold Star families

April 25, 2018 By WHC Insider

Representatives from Wells Fargo will attend the 2018 White House Correspondents’ Garden Brunch. The event will highlight their efforts to donate mortgage-free homes to combat-wounded veterans and Gold Star families through the Military Warriors Support Foundation’s (MWSF) Homes4WoundedHeroes program. A special announcement will be made on stage during the brunch.

As part of the Homes4WoundedHeroes program, veterans and their families enroll in a three-year financial literacy and family mentorship training program through MWSF and receive the deed to their home upon successful completion. Mentors help them make budgets, manage their finances, and get ready to become homeowners, and also help navigate the many challenges of transitioning to life outside the military.

To date, Wells Fargo has donated over 350 homes, valued at $55 million, to veterans and Gold Star families in all 50 states.
