NORTHAMPTON — The Applied Mortgage Team, a branch of HMA Mortgage, announced its participation in HMA Volunteer Day, a company-wide initiative dedicated to strengthening communities through service. On Thursday, Oct. 2, the local team will join Pioneer Valley Habitat for Humanity for a build day in Greenfield.

As a family-legacy mortgage provider since the 1980s, the Applied Mortgage Team has long valued community partnerships and believes in the power of neighbors working together to create positive change.

“Volunteering with Pioneer Valley Habitat for Humanity gives us the opportunity to directly contribute to safe and affordable housing in our community,” said Lindsay Barron LaBonte, branch manager of the Applied Mortgage Team. “As a woman-managed branch of HMA Mortgage, our work is rooted in relationships, service, and impact. Supporting this build is a natural extension of those values.”

Pioneer Valley Habitat for Humanity relies on volunteers for 90% of the work it takes to build each home. Volunteers are the backbone of the organization, providing hands-on help that creates immediate and tangible results for local families. This upcoming build day in Greenfield will bring together volunteers from across the community, including the Applied Mortgage Team, to help lay the foundation for another safe and welcoming home.

The Applied Mortgage Team welcomes community members to join them for this day of service. Those interested in volunteering alongside the team on Oct. 2 should email [email protected] for more details.
