TYSONS Va., Jan. 29, 2018 – PenFed Credit Union, along with Habitat for Humanity of Washington, D.C., celebrated the completion of nine homes in Northeast and Southeast D.C. together with the new homeowners in a dedication and ribbon-cutting ceremony.
Since 2013, PenFed has provided more than $1.4 million in support to D.C. Habitat through direct contributions and financing. Additionally, 56 PenFed volunteers have spent nearly 400 hours volunteering on D.C. Habitat build sites. More recently, Debbie Ames Naylor, Executive Vice President & President, Mortgage Banking with PenFed Credit Union, served as D.C. Habitat's Women Build Campaign Leadership Chair. Under her leadership, nearly $600,000 was raised towards D.C. Habitat's Women Build efforts.
“Partnering with Habitat is a natural fit for PenFed,” said Kevyn Myers, COO, Executive Vice President and President, M&A Integration and Payment Systems for PenFed. “Our mission is to help our members ‘Do Better Financially.’ And what aligns better than Habitat’s mission of affordable homeownership? We are proud to be a part of making the dream of homeownership a reality for so many deserving families and helping to revitalize D.C. communities.”
