Gold Star Mortgage Financial Group has officially sanctioned its longstanding community service efforts by appointing Brooke Hoag as its community commitment liaison. Hoag will devote her full-time administrative talents and energy to formalize and expand community giving efforts developed by Gold Star employees over the years.

►A Blood Drive for the American Red Cross in which 45 employees signed up for before the campaign was opened to the public.
►Supplying volunteer workers for Habitat for Humanity to build two homes for families in the Ypsilanti, Mich. area.
►Buying gifts for seven families adopted by the company for the Holidays.

"When my family came to the United States as refugees from the Ukraine we found our place in America because of the kind and generous support of many people," said Dan Milstein, CEO and Founder of Gold Star Mortgage Financial Group. "So I am especially pleased that my employees have become so involved in giving back to the community as well. When Gold Star hires employees we look for people who are grounded in the community and committed to our philosophy of looking out for others."
