Company partnered with several local organizations through donations and wish-granting
CrossCountry Mortgage (CCM), the nation’s number three retail mortgage lender, gave back in a number of ways over the holidays. This time of year represents a season of giving, but the company says giving back is a core value they practice year-round.
“Helping people realize their dreams of homeownership is what we do every day as an organization,” said Laura Soave, chief brand officer. “But helping make wishes come true extends beyond home loans. Doing things to make our community a better place to live, work, and raise a family is part of our always-on CCM Cares efforts, especially around the holidays. And we’re always happy when we can spread a little joy along the way.”
