Guild Mortgage donates
blankets to the homeless
The Daily Astorian
Guild Mortgage North
Coast has partnered with Ore-
gon blanket makers Sackcloth
& Ashes to give back to those
in need. 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.

ument was originally presented

tion and birthday cake at

The program includes dis-
