RTN Employees Provide Dinner at Bristol Lodge Soup Kitchen

Waltham, MA - March 10, 2021 - The RTN Federal Credit Union Employees Community Outreach Committee provided dinner on March 9 for men and women at the Bristol Lodge Soup Kitchen in Waltham.  In compliance with COVID-19 restrictions, RTN staff delivered 3-foot-long submarine sandwiches, hot Delmonico potatoes and a sweet treat for dessert to Bristol Lodge staff who then packaged to-go meals for individuals to pick up.

Bristol Lodge is one of the local non-profit organizations and charities that the Employees Community Outreach Committee supports regularly through personal donations and contributions of RTN employees’ time. Bristol Lodge is a program of the Middlesex Human Services Agency, which is an RTN sponsor group. In addition to its partnership with the Greater Boston Food Bank, the Bristol Lodge Soup Kitchen relies on food donations from volunteer groups and community partners, such as RTN.

Located at Immanuel United Methodist Church on Moody Street, the Bristol Lodge Soup Kitchen has been serving hot, nutritious meals every evening Monday through Friday between 4:30 and 5:30 pm to those in need for three decades.
