Employees of Mortgage Network Inc., one of the largest independent mortgage lenders in the eastern U.S., recently sponsored a bingo event at Soldiers’ Home in Chelsea, a long-term skilled nursing facility and residence for military veterans.
Six Mortgage Network employees played bingo and handed out meals, hats and cash prizes during the event, which was held to support the state-run health care facility. It was the second time Mortgage Network sponsored the event.
“Supporting our veterans is one of our core values because of the enormous sacrifices they have made for our country,” Mortgage Network CEO Robert McInnes said in a press release. “It was an honor to give something back.”
The Soldiers’ Home is a state-run health care facility that provides veterans with quality care, full-time living accommodations and out-patient services. It has been in continuous operation since 1882.
“It’s always great to connect with veterans,” Elisa Balboni, a senior loan officer in Mortgage Network’s Boston branch office, said in the release. “We had a lot of fun at this event and look forward to coming back soon.”
Based in Danvers, Mass., Mortgage Network provides mortgage banking services in more than 20 states through a variety of retail offices built to fit each local market. Mortgage Network considers itself to be more focused and agile than many larger competitors, which the company believes allows it to provide a high level of service to its customers and its business and referral partners.
Mortgage Network recently was recognized as a supporter of Run for the Troops 5K, which helps raise awareness of the needs of injured soldiers.
