Employees from Online Direct Home Loan Lender Donate Interview-Appropriate Suits
for Low Income Job Seekers
SAN DIEGO--(Business Wire)--
BluFi Direct Mortgage (www.BluFiDirect.com), one of the fastest growing online
direct lenders with no commissions, successfully ended a two-week clothing drive
to benefit low income job seekers Friday, August 27th. The San Diego-based
online mortgage banker joined Robert Half International (RHI) in its support of
Dress for Success to donate business suits, shoes and accessories. 

Dress for Success is a nonprofit organization that has helped more than 550,000
women around the world since 1997. Each Dress for Success client receives one
suit when she has a job interview and can return for a second suit when she
finds work. BluFi employees enthusiastically participated with direct donations
of near-new clothing, freshly cleaned and interview-ready. The drive was
promoted in and outside BluFi through emails, signs, and staff meetings. 

"In just two weeks we gathered three big boxes of clothing plus several bags of
shoes and accessories," said BluFi Operations Manager Sandy Simmons. "We
promoted this as the community service event of the month. It`s an important
cause and something the employees really embraced, so we had a great response.
We`re all aware of the tough job market and want to help any way we can." 

In addition to charitable projects, BluFi regularly organizes other
team-building activities, including catered lunches, sponsored outings and
similar appreciation programs. Future planned charitable initiatives include
community clean-up and repair-type projects. 

"As a growing company, we are helping the local community by hiring unemployed
mortgage professionals and now by contributing to charitable events too," said
John Lee, BluFi CEO. "Rather than just one big event a year, at BluFi we believe
charity and community involvement are important all year long. By participating
in events like this one for Dress for Success, we are making a positive impact
on the community. That`s what we`re all about at BluFi."
