More than 200 pumpkins were donated last week, many of them into the arms of smiling, young Crescent City residents - courtesy of Brandee Stephens with Pacific Coast Mortgage Solutions.This was the second year that Stephens said she set up a pumpkin give away in front of her office at 555 H Street, though the original 100 pumpkins from The Fort Dick Pumpkin Patch turned out to not be enough so she needed to go out for more.“We love to give away things throughout the year that are either family friendly or something for kids to do,” said Stephens.#placement_573654_0_i{width:100%;max-width:550px;margin:0 auto;}var rnd = window.rnd || Math.floor(Math.random()*10e6);var pid573654 = window.pid573654 || rnd;var plc573654 = window.plc573654 || 0;var abkw = window.abkw || '';var absrc = 'https://ads.empowerlocal.co/adserve/;ID=181918;size=0x0;setID=573654;type=js;sw='+screen.width+';sh='+screen.height+';spr='+window.devicePixelRatio+';kw='+abkw+';pid='+pid573654+';place='+(plc573654++)+';rnd='+rnd+';click=CLICK_MACRO_PLACEHOLDER';var _absrc = absrc.split("type=js"); absrc = _absrc[0] + 'type=js;referrer=' + encodeURIComponent(document.location.href) + _absrc[1];document.write('');In late September, a free and virtual Starry Night Pumpkin event was also sponsored. The 25-person event filled up quickly, and included a canvas, paint and brushes, and instruction from Tiffany Hicks with Brookings-based Creative Juice.Stephens, a life-long resident of Crescent City, is the broker and owner of Pacific Coast Mortgage Solutions. She said a portion of all closed loans in Del Norte County are redirected back to nonprofits - with the most recent quarterly donation of $1,500 going to CASA of Del Norte. Stephens has also donated over 75 backpacks to children in the community, sponsored the Bulls and Barrel at the Fair and sponsored a youth basketball team. googletag.cmd.push(function() { googletag.display('ad-1515727'); });
