loanDepot, the Official Mortgage Provider of Major League
Baseball, today announced the completion of the newly renovated and
expanded teen kitchen at Boys & Girls Clubs of Greater
Scottsdale’s (BGCS) Virginia G. Piper branch, which was funded by
its 2021-2022 MLB "Home Means Everything" RBI campaign. Named by
the teens it serves, the “Piper Teen Yum Hub Powered By loanDepot”
provides a fun, safe space for teens to gather and hang out. It’s a
major draw that helps attract and keep them with the Club, while
teaching self-sufficiency through cooking and nutrition.
“Team loanDepot is really passionate about leaving a lasting
impact on the communities where we live and work, and we’ve seen
first-hand how incredible Boys & Girls Clubs are in serving as
a home away from home for so many kids and teens,” said loanDepot
Chief Administrative Officer TJ Freeborn. “When we think of home,
so many of us think about the memories made and shared in the
kitchen, which is why we’re so happy to help the club in Scottsdale
realize their long-standing dream of a new teen kitchen. This will
be a rallying point for teens to have a safe space where they can
spend time after school, learn some valuable life skills, and of
course enjoy some terrific meals.”
The Club’s previous kitchen, untouched since its construction in
1991, desperately needed modernization. The renovation project
involved demolishing the old kitchen and creating a larger, more
functional space to support essential healthy lifestyle
programming.
Upgrades to the Piper Teen Yum Hub Powered by loanDepot include
new flooring, ceiling, drywall, and electrical updates, along with
state-of-the-art appliances and cabinets, offering BGCS teens a
contemporary and efficient environment to immerse themselves in
their cooking. The kitchen will be actively used by teens, hosting
snack bar sales, culinary activities, and educational initiatives.
The programming in the Yum Hub is intended to help teens to be
self-sufficient, setting them up for healthy, successful lives.
“This renovation is years in the making, and we’re so thankful
to loanDepot for stepping up to the plate to make it happen,” said
Virginia G. Piper Branch Director Christian Sanft. “It’s hard to
hold the attention of teens with all the distractions that exist
today, and the Yum Hub keeps them here and coming back with their
friends. It’s just like the kitchen in many homes; it’s a fun and
safe gathering spot to hang out, socialize, and learn important
life lessons. It’s so much more than just a place to cook.”
BGCS teens recently put the Yum Hub to use for the first time,
unveiling the kitchen with the help of Executive Chef Fidencio
Alastriste from The Mexicano restaurant in Phoenix and Chef Pierce
Azlin, the Maggiore Group Culinary Director. The Chefs led a
cooking demonstration following a ribbon-cutting ceremony with
representatives from BGCS and loanDepot.
“On behalf of MLB, I thank loanDepot for their generous
contributions to our official charity, Boys & Girls Clubs of
America,” said MLB Senior Vice President of Social Responsibility
& Community Affairs April Brown. “Their ‘Home Means Everything’
campaign has made a real difference in the lives of young people
across the country. This program has helped revitalize facilities
like this incredible teen kitchen in Scottsdale, create
once-in-a-lifetime experiences, and provide a home away from home
to the kids who need it most. We are grateful for our partners for
supporting and fulfilling an important shared mission.”
The Piper Teen Yum Hub is one of four planned local club
revitalization projects with Boys & Girls Clubs of America,
where loanDepot pledged support through its MLB “Home Means
Everything” campaign during the 2021-2022 season. The company also
put the finishing touches on a renovation of the fields and
facilities at the 18-acre Wilmington Athletic Complex for Boys
& Girls Clubs of the Los Angeles Harbor; helped restore Boys
& Girls Clubs of Sarasota and DeSoto County locations that were
caught in Hurricane Ian's path; and partnered with Boys & Girls
Clubs of Greater Dallas to overhaul its Oak Cliff Club's STEM lab,
which is scheduled for completion later this summer. Funds also
support the national organization in Atlanta.
