Always an advocate for our country’s veterans and soldiers, NFM, Inc. recently participated in supporting Habitat for Humanity of Maryland’s newest initiative, Homes and Hope for Heroes. On July 18, 2012 Susan Devlin, Executive Director of Habitat for Humanity of Maryland, was presented with a check in the amount of $12,800.00 at our corporate office location in Linthicum, Maryland.
Homes and Hope for Heroes is a new program developed by Habitat for Humanity of Maryland based on Habitat for Humanity International’s Veteran’s Initiative. The Veteran’s Initiative focuses on affordable housing and home preservation, volunteer mobilization, employment, education, and celebration of United States veterans. Through these five areas of focus, Homes and Hope for Heroes is developing a program of sustainable housing solutions for Maryland veterans.
Aware of our continuing work with Any Soldier, Inc., Habitat for Humanity of Massachusetts, and our recent green office initiative, Habitat for Humanity of Maryland contacted NFM, Inc. with a proposal for this initiative. Excited to be part of a program that combines a variety of NFM, Inc.’s passions, David Silverman, President and CEO of NFM, Inc. was eager to make a donation:
“NFM, Inc. is delighted to become a partner with the Habitat for Humanity of Maryland’s Homes and Hope for Heroes Program. As a company, NFM, Inc. is dedicated to giving back to our community. Habitat for Humanity of Maryland and the Homes and Hope for Heroes program not only allows for us to help build homes for individuals in our community but it also allows us to show our gratitude to our veterans and their families. They sacrifice their lives for our freedom and safety—it’s the least we can do to honor their service. I personally would like to thank Habitat for Humanity of Maryland for allowing NFM, Inc. to become a partner in their new Homes and Hope for Heroes program; we are excited to get involved with such a great organization.”
NFM, Inc. is looking forward to many more opportunities to participate with Homes and Hope for Heroes as they continue to grow.
On Monday, August 27, 2012 four employees from NFM, Inc.’s corporate office ventured to Towson, Maryland to participate in the National Council on Alcoholism and Drug Dependence of Maryland’s (NCADD-MD) Recovery Classic Golf Tournament. Jan Ozga, Chief Operating Officer, Amy Fitcher, Loan Officer, Jeff Corsiatto, Loan Officer, and Chuck Miller, Loan Officer participated in the event on the behalf of NFM, Inc. In addition to competing in the golfing events, NFM, Inc. was also a silver sponsor of the event. NFM, Inc. is a proud supporter of NCADD-MD and its mission to raise awareness of addiction and recovery issues.
The event was held at the Country Club of Maryland in Towson and featured various events and prizes throughout the day. For NFM, Inc., the day was highlighted by teammate Amy Fichter winning the Lady’s Long Drive event—on the hole that NFM, Inc. sponsored! Jan Ozga, COO of NFM, Inc., organized NFM, Inc.’s involvement with the NCADD-MD’s Recovery Classic and is looking forward to continued involvement with NCADD-MD:
“This was a great opportunity to support a great cause and to show how committed NFM, Inc. is to community involvement. Not only does it help to raise awareness about drug and alcohol dependence through NCADD-MD, our participation raises awareness within our own company as well.”
David Silverman, President and CEO of NFM, Inc. commented, “NFM, Inc. is very committed to supporting issues regarding addiction and recovery, especially within our communities. In addition, NFM, Inc. offers an employee assistance program that allows individuals who are dealing with stress, depression, addiction, or any other issue they are encountering, to talk to someone outside of the company confidentially.” NFM, Inc. recognizes the fact that addiction is a disease, not a stigma, moral failing, or lifestyle choice. NCADD-Maryland board chair, David Nelson, said: “We are most grateful to NFM, Inc. for their sponsorship of our event. We appreciate their support for our work and hope that their enlightened approach to addressing alcohol and drug-related issues within their employee ranks will serve as a model for other companies to follow.”
The NCADD-MD Recovery Classic was a great day of golf for all that participated, and NFM, Inc. looks forward to more opportunities to support this inspiring organization.
