Freedom Credit Union is once again inviting the community to support its Month of Giving campaign by donating funds at any of its branches throughout western Massachusetts during the month of January. Donations will benefit the Massachusetts Coalition for the Homeless, helping to provide vital support for individuals and families facing housing insecurity during the coldest months of the year.
“It’s a basic human need to feel safe and warm,” said Freedom Credit Union President Glenn Welch. “The Massachusetts Coalition for the Homeless works every day to make that a reality for thousands of people. We’re proud to support their mission and to invite our members and neighbors to join us in making a difference.”
The Coalition expects to assist more than 1,500 low-income households in 2026—families who are either at risk of losing their homes or currently experiencing homelessness. With Massachusetts ranked among the least affordable housing markets in the country, many are struggling to meet rent as costs rise faster than wages.
Freedom Credit Union supports a different nonprofit each month as part of its community commitment. All funds raised through January 31 will help the Coalition provide direct assistance and address inequalities in housing, income, health, education and more.
“Every contribution, no matter the size, helps keep someone safe and supported,” added Welch. “We’re grateful to everyone who gives so generously to our Month of Giving.”
