The Affinity Plus Foundation donated $60,000 to three Duluth-area nonprofits. This is in partnership with the Federal Home Loan Bank of Des Moines, which provided a 3-to-1 match.
$25,000 will help One Roof Community Housing give 0% interest, forgivable loans to 40 first-generation homebuyers.
Another $25,000 will help 200 youth experiencing homelessness connect with its housing resources.
The remaining $10,000 goes to the Hunter’s Hut Food Pantry at Denfeld High School, which will help them provide 5% more meals each month.
And the work doesn’t stop here. The Affinity Plus Foundation is raising funds and matching dollars to offer financial literacy programs and scholarships. Two Duluth students were recently awarded $4,000 in scholarships.
