Fannie Mae's Help the Homeless Walk Each year, we work with more than 40 schools, congregations and youth groups to educate the next generation about the issues of poverty in our community and how they can be part of the solution. We educate 17,000 youth through this extraordinary community-wide effor each year. Each presentation includes a mini-walk, with youngsters sporting their own Fannie Mae Help the Homeless T-shirt. For information, or to have a walk scheduled at your school, congregation or youth activity, please contact Walks Coordinator Cindy Hall. We encourage you to get in touch early to plan a miniwalk and/or to prepare for the big Fannie Mae Help the Homeless Walk that takes place in the Fall. For more information about the community service Fannie Mae provides, visit their website at www.fanniemae.com.
