What’s your non-profit?

There was a time when a company’s primary goal was to achieve its bottom line. Success was all about making money and a profit. With the economic hardship affecting so many, particularly in our rural community, there’s never been a greater need for more good corporate citizens.

Living in our beautiful area has advantages as well as disadvantages. We aren’t as close to many resources, government aid and employment. Moreover, our county senior demographics is higher than most. So it’s not surprising that The Food Bank of Nevada County saw a 9% increase of clients it serves this year while food and monetary contributions have declined.

Food is fundamental, and is at the heart of Delta Home Loans’ social values. For many years now, we have supported our local Food Bank on many levels. As a corporate citizen in our community, the company has a wonderful opportunity to lead by example with our business practices, expertise and resources to help this non-profit meet today’s high demand as well as future needs.

Just recently, John Voter of Delta Home Loans was instrumental in The Food Bank’s purchase of a new, bigger facility. By connecting The Food Bank with a little-known, government-aided financing program, they were able to take advantage of this unique opportunity without using any of its money or public-donated money. The non-profit will be able to realize tremendous monthly savings and be more accommodating to its clients. It was gratifying for Delta Home Loans to have spearheaded this effort and make this a win-win situation for The Food Bank as well as for our community and residents.

Reaching out as a good corporate citizen goes far beyond than just doing a good deed. For us at Delta Home Loans, it’s a means to practice good business ethics and maintain strong values. It’s a means for us to demonstrate a leadership role and to be a role model for our employees, clients and other businesses. It’s a real opportunity to make a difference and make life a little easier for so many. Moreover, taking care of our community is simply how it should be.

Whether you’re a business or individual, we’d love to know of your non-profit involvement. Write us a comment and let us know.
