Having been homeless as a teenager, Angie knows how impactful it can be when a community and individuals partner together, bridging resources and connecting homeless families to basic items – simple, everyday items we might not think about, but others desperately need.
KIRO Radio and WSECU are proud to honor Angie Barreto as a Hometown Hero and award her with $2,000 for her tireless efforts in supporting those in need in Pierce County. As a not for profit credit union, WSECU invests their profits into creating a better community, and last year 90% of their employees volunteered their own time in communities across Washington state. If you know someone who invests in their community, nominate them to be our next Hometown Hero at mynorthwest.com/hero.
