Mortgage Centre in Woodstock Donates $6,600 to VON Sakura House

VON Sakura House received a $6,600 donation today from the Mortgage Centre in Woodstock.

WOODSTOCK - VON Sakura House received a $6,600 donation today from the Mortgage Centre in Woodstock.

Principal Broker and CEO Julie Brenneman says at the beginning of the year, the Mortgage Centre pledged they'd put $50.00 towards the charity from each mortgage they close.

"For every mortgage that we close, we donate $50 on behalf of the client and then we send them a little thank you card as well as some information about the charity if they choose to do their own donation."

Brenneman has been doing this for a couple of years, donating $6,000 to Andrew's Legacy last year. She explains why they chose Sakura House this year.

"We did a poll on our Facebook page and that was a very popular one, as well as we have had some staff members who have had family members use this service." 

All of the money raised will go to the day to day operations at Sakura House. Manager of Fund Development for VON Oxford Trish Gergich says these donations go a long way.

"These donations are incredibly important for the day to day operations of the house. Because of COVID, we have actually had a drop in fundraising in donations this year, so these gifts from Hometown Financial are important for covering those day to day costs and making sure that patients are comfortable at the end of life."
