A Season of Thanks: Celebrating Service, Teamwork & Community at Towne
As we gather with loved ones this Thanksgiving season, we’re reminded of how fortunate we are to work alongside a team that leads with heart, compassion, and purpose. At Towne Mortgage Company, gratitude isn’t just something we express in November — it’s woven into everything we do year-round. But this season gives us a special opportunity to reflect on some of the meaningful moments and incredible team member contributions that shaped 2025.
Giving Back to the Communities We Serve
This fall, our team members rolled up their sleeves — sometimes literally — to support families and organizations in need across the country.
Friends For Animals: Our team members, along with a few of their family members, spent time volunteering with our charity partner, Friends For Animals, supporting their mission and lending a hand where it was needed most.
Central Alabama Food Bank: Our volunteers packed more than 350 Thanksgiving food boxes, each filled with 20 pounds of essentials, helping ensure families can enjoy a warm holiday meal. The energy, teamwork, and smiles from our team members made the experience even more meaningful.
Forgotten Harvest Farm: In Michigan, Towne team members harvested an astounding 16,780 pounds of produce; enough to help feed thousands of neighbors. Watermelons, pumpkins, peppers… all picked with pride, humility, and plenty of laughter.
Community Garden Day: From clearing garden beds to picking the last of the season’s vegetables to repainting the Lending Library at the In Memory of… Community Garden, our team members showed what it means to invest in the spaces that bring people together.
Supporting The Pink Fund: Earlier in October, Towne team members attended Dancing for the Survivors, honoring cancer survivors and raising awareness for those currently in the fight. It was an emotional evening that reinforced the strength of community.
Lighthouse Thanksgiving Drive: Through Amazon Wish List donations and shared generosity, Towne team members helped fill Thanksgiving tables for families in need — one small gesture at a time.
