BluFi also donated $5,000 to help purchase food and supplies needed by The Angel’s Depot throughout the year.
“One of our goals at BluFi is to help the community where it’s needed most. We admire the work of The Angel’s Depot to provide nourishing food for impoverished elderly in our area and wanted to help with some funding and volunteers,” said BluFi Direct Mortgage CEO and President John Lee. “What was truly amazing is that we asked for several volunteers from our staff and more than 40 employees stepped up, exceeding our expectations for the project! We’ve got a great team with a big heart.”
