Wells Fargo Volunteers Put Together Safe at Home Kits

We hosted another incredible group of volunteers from Wells Fargo who put together Safe at Home Kits! The kits include a smoke detector, carbon monoxide detector, no-slip bath treads, dawn to dusk light bulbs and nightlights, grabbers, mini-flash light, batteries, kitchen fire extinguisher, reusable masks, sanitizing wipes, and an application for Safe at Home services. These kits provide an entry level of service for older adults who may be more difficult to serve either because of reluctance to ask for help, language or cultural barriers, concerns about COVID-19, etc. Our Safe at Home kits have a direct and immediate positive impact on the low-income older adults we serve. They also foster trust and raise awareness which will lead many of the homeowners to ask for additional help needed to remain safely and independently in their own homes. We are very grateful to Wells Fargo for providing funding and volunteers to support this initiative!

Wells Fargo Give Back

We would like to send a special thanks to Wells Fargo who provided another generous grant to us this year to help several families in need!

One of the people we helped is Nicole, who purchased the home she grew up in from her mom. Nicole’s mom still lives there, along with Nicole and her two daughters – three generations of women living under one roof! Nicole is a special education teacher. While she does an excellent job of maintaining her home, when she discovered that her main sewer line was about to burst, the repair was more than her salary could handle.

The grant from Wells Fargo allowed us to fix Nicole’s main sewer line. Nicole said “Thank you, this is a dream come true, I can hardly believe this is happening!”

The fixed sewer line means that Nicole, her mom, and her kids can continue to live in a safe, healthy, and affordable home. Thank you Wells Fargo!

Big Thanks to Wells Fargo!

We would like to send a special thank you to Wells Fargo, who has provided both funding and volunteers for many years! Since 2009, Wells Fargo has donated more than $790,000 to support our vision of ensuring that everyone in our community has a safe and healthy home.

This year, Wells Fargo provided us with a grant for $80,000 to assist nine low-income homeowners in the Twin Cities and Southwest Minnesota. Thank you!
