The Umpqua Bank Warm Hearts Winter Drive to
Raise Funds and Collect Winter Items for Nonprofits and Shelter
Partners Throughout the Bank's Footprint
LAKE OSWEGO, Ore.,
Nov. 21,
2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Umpqua Bank today announced
the launch of its 10th Annual Warm Hearts Winter Drive,
an associate-driven campaign to support individuals, families and
youths throughout the bank's footprint who struggle with access to
housing and other basic resources. As part of the drive, Umpqua
Bank's 4,800 associates and nearly 300 local branches will help
mobilize their respective communities to raise money and collect
winter items for shelters and aide organizations serving people
experiencing homelessness.
Last year, the Warm Hearts Winter Drive raised a total of
$365,000 for more than 100 shelter
partners and nonprofits across Oregon, Washington, California, Idaho, Nevada
and Utah. Since the campaign
launched in 2015, the Warm Hearts Winter Drive has raised nearly
$2.5 Million in funds and other
resources for local nonprofits and shelters helping neighbors in
need.
"It's an honor to celebrate the Warm Heart Winter Drive's
10-year anniversary and take a moment to reflect on the impact this
campaign has made in the communities across our footprint," said
Umpqua Bank Chief Marketing Officer David
Moore Devine. "Thank you to all our associates, customers
and community members who contribute to Warm Hearts each and every
year. We look forward to continuing to work alongside all the
amazing nonprofit partners and local shelters that do so much to
support those in need and make our communities stronger."
How to Support the Warm Hearts Winter Drive
The
Warm Hearts Winter Drive accepts cash donations in addition to new
winter clothes. Contributions can be made at
www.WarmHeartsWinterDrive.com. Financial contributions and new
winter clothing items can also be donated at Umpqua Bank
branches.
Associates at Umpqua Bank's nearly 300 branches are actively
engaged in securing financial contributions and warm clothing from
customers and community members. One hundred percent of the
clothing and funds collected will be donated directly to local
shelters and aide organizations.
All designated contributions stay in the community where they
were raised and directly support local organizations. Among the
list of benefiting organizations are Oregon-based Portland Rescue Mission and
Northwest Housing Alternatives Inc., as well as Tacoma Rescue
Mission and Vine Maple Place based in Washington. Other organizations across the
West include California's
Sacramento Loaves and Fishes and Volunteers of America Inc., and
