Churchill Mortgage Announces Largest Partnership with Sackcloth & Ashes

SALEM, Ore., March 9, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- Churchill Mortgage, an industry leader providing conventional, FHA, VA and USDA residential mortgages across 47 states, has announced its largest purchase commitment ever with Sackcloth & Ashes, a Salem, Ore.-based, mission-driven company that provides blankets to homeless shelters.

Through this partnership, Churchill Mortgage will purchase 20,000 Sackcloth & Ashes blankets – estimated at up to $2.5 million in total – to offer as closing gifts to homebuyers over the next two years. For each blanket Churchill Mortgage purchases, Sackcloth & Ashes will donate a blanket to a local homeless shelter in the homebuyer's area, helping the nonprofit reach its goal of providing one million blankets to homeless shelters by 2024 through its "Blanket the United States" campaign. Churchill Mortgage is Sackcloth & Ashes' exclusive mortgage partner through 2022 and one of the nonprofit's largest corporate partners.

Churchill Mortgage homebuyers may select their gift from approximately 50 blankets on the Sackcloth & Ashes website—which are made from 100% recycled material, eco-friendly, good for the environment and ethically made and produced in Salem. One option is the "Mountain Churchill" blanket, designed in recognition of this partnership and featuring an exclusive colorway and a label featuring both company's logos. Each blanket is delivered to the homebuyer in a customized box, with an encouraging message to refill it with essential items—like toiletries, snacks, first-aid kits and water—and donate it to a local homeless shelter.

"Our ongoing partnership with Sackcloth & Ashes reflects Churchill Mortgage's steadfast commitment to serve our communities and make a positive impact," said Kevin J. Hanna, president of the Northwest Region of Churchill Mortgage. "We are honored to help Sackcloth & Ashes provide support to people experiencing homelessness and extend their reach across the United States."  

Churchill Mortgage first partnered with Sackcloth & Ashes in 2019. To date, the company has given more than 5,000 blankets to its homebuyers, each matched with a blanket donation to a local shelter. Building on the partnership's early momentum, 15 Churchill locations nationwide will participate in the program.

"We are extremely grateful for our ongoing partnership with Churchill Mortgage," said Bob Dalton, founder of Sackcloth & Ashes. "Our organizations share a similar values-driven ethos and genuine desire to give back to others and make a meaningful difference in the world. We are deeply appreciative of their ongoing support and commitment to champion this initiative."
