United Wholesale Mortgage Ships Water, Paper/Plastic Goods to Flint Community

United Shore, parent company of United Wholesale Mortgage, has announced that it collected and shipped nearly 60,000 bottles of water and more than 10,000 paper/plastic goods to the Flint, Mich. community. The collection is the result of week-long relief drive in which the local community and more than 1,500 United Shore team members participated in.

“We had a great turnout over the past week for our collection drive, bringing in close to 60,000 bottles of water and 10,000 paper and plastic goods,” said Brad Pettiford, communications manager at United Shore. “It’s obviously not the complete solution to Flint’s problem, but we’re ecstatic if our efforts make a positive impact in that community and inspire more people to help.”

The overall collection tallied 30 pallets full of water bottle cases and two pallets of paper and plastic goods, equaling approximately 32 tons of goods. Federated Logistics Inc. of Wayne, Michigan donated the semi-truck used to ship the collection.
