Also in May, the lender will join other local volunteers for the Special Olympics Mud Run to benefit Tennesseans with intellectual disabilities.

In addition, later this year, Churchill employees will return to Guatemala to help build homes for local residents and will also volunteer locally through Habitat for Humanity. The company also plans to fund a food pantry in December through Second Harvest Food Bank.

""Donating our resources to local charities, families and individuals in need is an important part of our organization,"" said Mike Hardwick, president of Churchill Mortgage. ""Through our involvement, we're able to positively impact thousands of lives. We encourage others to volunteer beyond National Volunteer Month so that we can collectively make a greater difference in our world.""
