Local Families Benefit from Baylake Bank Contribution
April 17, 2007 - Baylake Bank has
once again helped dreams come true for area families who would otherwise have
found home ownership beyond their means. Baylake recently donated $1000 to the
Waushara County Habitat for Humanity organization, which gives a "hand up," not
a hand-out, to its Partner Families. Each family that qualifies for a Habitat
home must make a down payment, perform a predetermined number of sweat-equity
hours on construction of the home, and make mortgage payments & pay taxes as any
other homeowner does.
Habitat homes are built with volunteer labor, mostly donated land, many donated
materials, and lots of prayers. Its door is always open for volunteers, and
donations of land, materials, money and time are what keep the wheels in motion.
Waushara County Habitat for Humanity involves local businesses, churches,
service organizations, and individuals who invest in the improvement of the
community.
"As a partner in the community, Baylake Bank is dedicated to helping build the
good life for the individuals and families in our area," commented Linda
Kennedy, Baylake Bank Central Region President. "This donation reflects our
commitment to being a good corporate neighbor.”
Baylake Bank currently serves Northeast and Central Wisconsin from 28 financial
centers throughout Brown, Door, Green Lake, Kewaunee, Manitowoc, Outagamie,
Waupaca, and Waushara counties, and from their website at www.baylake.com.
