BOSTON — Credit unions remain "unsung corporate heroes," unable to effectively broadcast their story of pubic goodwill, the head of the country's oldest advocacy group for the homeless said last week.
"It's really phenomenal what credit unions have done in this state and I'm not sure why more of the public does not know it," declared Robyn Frost, executive director of the Massachusetts Coalition for the Homeless, a grassroots advocacy group founded in 1981 and counting 700 faith communities in Massachusetts.
The coalition, which for nearly two decades has been the recipient of grants from the Massachusetts Credit Union League with a record $120,000 contributed in 2007, said Massachusetts CUs perform countless tasks to aid low-income people, including offering free tax assistance, feeding the hungry, and conducting book drives to bolster literacy among the young.
