What can you buy with a million dollars? It was the gold-colored shirts of more than 110 Wells Fargo team members who walked, jogged and ran the trails as part of the company's sponsorship of the annual Siena/Francis House's Walk/Run. Wells Fargo sponsored the walk for the first time in 2006. The company helped the Siena/Francis House raise the profile of the annual event and even more money to support the homeless men, women and children the shelter serves. The Siena/Francis House is Nebraska's largest homeless shelter, providing food, emergency shelter and clothing to the homeless. Last year, the Siena/Francis House provided 132,865 nights of shelter to the homeless, a 45 percent increase from the year before. In 2006, Wells Fargo's annual support for nonprofit organizations nationwide surpassed $100 million for the first time in the company's 155-year history. In Nebraska Wells Fargo donated $1.5 million to 262 nonprofits.

This year, the company will reach a major milestone - its total donations will hit the million-dollar mark for Omaha Habitat. The company will hit the million-dollar mark as it supports 14 homes in Omaha this year; that's a record number for the company in Omaha. Last year, Telicia Wright accepted the keys to a new home that Wells Fargo's support helped build. The 25-year-old single mother moved out of her two-bedroom apartment in December and into a home that will help assure financial security for her and her daughter. "I'm putting my money into a long-term investment," she said. "Twenty years from now, my house will be paid for. Maybe I'll be looking to move on to bigger and better things." Amanda Jedlicka, executive director for Habitat for Humanity of Omaha, said Wells Fargo is working to make Omaha a stronger community. "Wells Fargo has provided the foundation for Habitat for Humanity of Omaha to grow so that year after year, more homes can be built for more families in need, " she said. "Wells Fargo has stood out as a true partner and leader in our efforts to provide affordable housing for families that may not otherwise have access to the stability of homeownership."

How to pay for those pricey goals? Two Wells Fargo team members had the answer: save. More than 120 team members volunteered at schools across the state during 2006 as part of National Teach Children to Save Day. Team members taught children the difference between wants and needs and about the importance of saving in order to reach financial goals. The volunteer effort is one way the company promotes financial literacy in the community. Marrs Magnet Center students learn the importance of saving. Wells Fargo works hand in hand with teachers, school administrators and government agencies to add to public education by integrating financial education into classrooms across the country. With input from the educational community, Wells Fargo developed Hands on Banking and its Spanish version, El futuro en tus manos®, a free, non-commercial financial literacy program. In Omaha, the company has more than 47 Hands on Banking ambassadors who are trained to use the program for teaching financial literacy in schools across the city.
