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.

Community Recognition Awards
The Community Recognition Award salutes residents who are beating the odds to overcome poverty and the challenge of living on a limited income in Montgomery County. The goal of the award is to encourage and recognize the efforts and achievements of low-income residents to pursue their educational goals and become self-sufficient. Awardees receive small scholarships and other educational gifts. Awards are presented at the Annual Caregivers Conference, the 1st Wednesday in May. Contact Reverend Rosetta Robinson for more information or go to the Caregivers Conference web site.
