Wellby Financial and Bay Area Habitat for Humanity’s partnership highlights their shared commitment to supporting our community by ensuring everyone has a safe place to call home.
Living into their purpose of “helping people prosper,” Wellby Financial, rated the Best Overall Credit Union in Texas for 2023-24 by Money.com, recently donated $150,000 to Bay Area Habitat for Humanity, a non-profit home builder assisting families in need. This donation will provide a local family with a secure and well-constructed home while offering a significant step in their journey toward financial prosperity. Furthering this partnership, the Wellby team will volunteer to assist the Habitat team in building the home!
“We’re proud to partner with community leaders like Bay Area Habitat for Humanity,” shared President & CEO of Wellby Financial, Marty Pell. “Homeownership provides a sense of hope, belonging, and a pathway to financial independence. Through partnerships like this, we aren’t just building a house; we are truly building the next step on a family’s journey toward a better, more financially secure future.”
Bay Area Habitat for Humanity defines its mission as “the only nonprofit home builder in the Galveston, southeast Harris, and northern Brazoria County area, partnering with families to build quality, safe, affordable, and energy-efficient homes with zero percent interest mortgages.”
“Everyone deserves a safe and secure home,” stated Bay Area Habitat for Humanity Executive Director, Philip Golden. “In addition to supporting physical and psychological security, owning a home supports financial security and independence. Habitat for Humanity helps transform lives through homeownership, providing families with the stability they need to achieve their goals and pursue their dreams. This project aligns perfectly with our shared vision of helping both people and our community prosper.”
Wellby and Bay Area Habitat for Humanity’s partnership exemplifies their shared dedication to supporting neighbors during difficult times, empowering them to triumph over challenges, and helping make their dreams of becoming a homeowner a reality.
