Cleveland, Ohio | Nov. 24, 2021 — CrossCountry Mortgage, LLC, one of the nation’s 10 largest retail mortgage lenders, delivered a “sleigh” full of new, unwrapped toys today to “Operation Giving Tree,” the annual FOX 8 toy drive.
CrossCountry Mortgage employees spent November collecting these donations – dozens of gift cards, electronics, sports balls, dolls, games, stocking stuffers, makeup and more – that will be given to children in care in several Ohio counties, including Cuyahoga, Lorain, Medina, Summit and Lake, this holiday season.
“Since 2015, we’ve participated in Operation Giving Tree, and it is such a powerful way to give back to our community,” said CrossCountry Mortgage Founder and CEO Ronald Leonhardt, Jr. “CrossCountry Mortgage is deeply committed to the children and families of Northeast Ohio and there’s no better way to celebrate the season than by delivering a huge truck filled with toys to be given to our region’s children.”
FOX 8’s Operation Giving Tree will be accepting donations today at FOX 8 Studio, 5800 Dick Goddard Way, Cleveland, Ohio 44103, from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m.
