RTN Federal Credit Union and RTN GoodWorks Foundation presented a check for $22,039 to the Massachusetts Coalition for the Homeless on Monday, Sept. 18. The funds are proceeds raised from Walk Home 2017, which took place in June.

Walk Home, the credit Union's 5K signature fundraising event, brings together RTN members and staff; community residents; local and state dignitaries and politicians; and business sponsors. Walk events take place in Danvers, Dorchester and Waltham, just three of the Mass. communities RTN serves. "We are honored to partner with the Coalition and proudly contribute to its important work on behalf of the homeless," said Peter Cole, RTN board member and chair of the RTN GoodWorks Foundation Board.

Said coalition executive director Robyn Frost: "We are grateful to RTN's continued hard work and ongoing generosity through Walk Home to help us assist homeless teens, individuals and families through prevention, direct services and legislative advocacy efforts," said Robyn Frost, executive director, Massachusetts Coalition for the Homeless.

This year, in addition to supporting the coalition's overall work, funds will be donated to help homeless teens and families in Danvers, Waltham and Boston.

Walk Home 2018 will take place on Sunday, June 10, 2018.
