SixDegrees.org + loanDepot: Full hearts in Phoenix

On Wednesday, Jan. 22, 2025, SixDegrees.org activated it’s Building Kits program in Phoenix in partnership with loanDepot. loanDepot collaborated to bring their Joint Venture team together in service as part of their annual sales meeting. Together, 5,000 personal hygiene kits were assembled for immediate distribution to local Phoenix organizations Sojourner Center and the Salvation Army of Metro Phoenix as well as tranported to LA county by Comfort Bears in a Catastrophe to support those affected by the wildfires.

We are thrilled to celebrate loanDepot as an incredible partner of SixDegrees.org! Through their generous support and the dedication of their amazing team of 250 volunteers, we successfully built and distributed 5,000 personal hygiene kits in record time!

This activation underscores the vital role Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) partnerships play in driving positive change. loanDepot’s commitment to giving back demonstrates how businesses can collaborate with nonprofits to amplify their impact. Half of the hygiene kits we built in are now supporting individuals in Phoenix through our local network partners while the other half are providing relief to those affected by the devastating wildfires in Los Angeles.

“At loanDepot, Home Means Everything…and so does giving back to our communities that we all call home. When we learned about the impact SixDegrees.org makes to connect local communities to much needed resources, we knew they were a perfect fit for our annual give back initiative. Our teams at loanDepot and SixDegrees.org made an instant connection and we cannot wait to grow this partnership together, kit by kit.”
-Cat Carlos, Senior Manager, Meetings & Events

loanDepot’s generosity and teamwork exemplify the spirit of our Building Kits by Kevin Bacon (BKxKB) campaign: unifying communities to deliver essential resources to those in need. Their partnership highlights the profound difference companies can make when they embrace their social responsibility and join forces with organizations like SixDegrees.org to create lasting, meaningful change.

We are inspired by the dedication of loanDepot’s volunteers, whose hard work ensured each kit was filled with essential hygiene products. These kits do more than meet basic needs—they offer dignity and hope. Together, we can achieve extraordinary outcomes!
