On July 14, Guild went to the Astoria Rescue Mission to donate leece blan- kets, a task they will continue on a monthly basis. When Sackcloth & Ashes founder Bob Dalton found out his mother had become homeless in 2013, he began calling shelters to ind out what their needs were. The response: blankets. Therefore, for every blanket purchased, Sackcloth & Ashes donates an additional leece blanket to a local homeless shelter in need. Guild partnered with Sackcloth & Ashes to pro- vide blankets to customers as closing gifts for loans, while also personally donating a blanket to the Astoria Rescue Mission. “This is a continued effort of our mission to improve the communities we serve,” branch manager Patrick Wel- berg said. “Giving back is a big part of our culture.” Kathy Israel, local Guild loan oficer said, “I’m excited to provide a closing gift to my clients that also lets me make a difference with such an important organization in my home town.” Guild hopes to donate between 10 to 20 blankets to Astoria Rescue Mission every month.
