During May, Freedom Credit Union is inviting the community to donate money at any of its branches throughout western Massachusetts to benefit A Bed for Every Child. The Lynn, Massachusetts-based organization builds and donates beds for children who lack proper sleeping arrangements.
“Every child deserves a comfortable place where big dreams can happen,” said Freedom Credit Union President Glenn Welch. “We’re excited to support this effort because we know a good night’s sleep can boost focus, mental health and well-being.”
A Bed for Every Child teams up with community groups such as schools and healthcare agencies to identify needs and engage volunteers to participate in the Build a Bed Project. Statistics show that as housing expenses skyrocket, essentials like beds often get passed over. A Bed for Every Child aims to make sure Massachusetts children are not deprived of this basic necessity.
This donation is part of Freedom Credit Union’s ongoing effort to collect donations for a different charity each month as part of its Month of Giving campaign. This year, Freedom asked its members to nominate charities. Money collected through the end of May will support this mission to make dreams come true.
