MARLBOROUGH, Mass.-The credit union leagues of Massachusetts, New Hampshire and Rhode Island donated $180,000 to Homes For Our Troops.
The program builds houses that are tailored for the special needs of members of the nation's armed forces who have been severely injured in the course of their service.
"I can't thank our friends from the credit unions in Massachusetts, New Hampshire and Rhode Island enough," said John Gonsalves, president and founder of Homes for Our Troops. "Once again they have proven that the 'People helping People' philosophy of credit unions is not a slogan but a very real and tangible principle." Gonsalves went on to say, "Because of the help given by the credit unions we will be able to move another severely injured veteran, Nathan Hunt, off of our waiting list and start the process of building a home for him and his family."
