"At a time when donations from the public and private sectors are down due to the economy, we truly appreciate the support Wells Fargo has provided," said Ray Gabler, Executive Director. "We will use this grant to support affordable housing efforts throughout our service area, including rebuilding even almost three years post Sandy."

The grant was awarded as part of Wells Fargo's Community Connections program, which provides local branch managers the opportunity to make a $1,000 charitable contribution on behalf of Wells Fargo to a nonprofit of their choice.  

"Our local branches see which nonprofits are out in the community making a difference every day," said Brenda Ross-Dulan, Wells Fargo's Southern New Jersey region president.  "We use this as an opportunity to celebrate and say thank you to Habitat for Humanity in Monmouth County for all of the value they have provided to our community over the past year. 

"Many of our Wells Fargo team members also volunteer or are impacted by Habitat for Humanity in Monmouth County in some way," Susan Modri-Smith, Wells Fargo's Area President. "We're proud to help the nonprofits server our communities wherever we can."
