Community

RTM is committed to serving both our local and national communities. Through event fundraising campaigns, we work hard to give back and create new opportunities for our partners to contribute to meaningful and important causes.

RTM is proud to support our local community by working with Educational Alliance to host events at local elementary schools dedicated to students and their families.

Educational Alliance brings together diverse communities in Lower Manhattan, offering individuals and families high-quality, multi-generational programs and services that enhance their well-being and socioeconomic opportunities.

RTM supports

We are excited to share with you that, once again, our Delegates and Advisory Board have selected the “National Center for Learning Disabilities (NCLD)” as the charity that RTM will be supporting in 2018!

NCLD empowers the 1 in 5 of us with learning and attention issues to succeed in school, at work and in life. Through our initiatives and with the expertise of our renowned Professional Advisory Board, NCLD creates programs, research and practical resources to reduce stigma, promote self-advocacy skills and mobilize a powerful force of knowledgeable advocates to create real change. Visit www.NCLD.org for more information and find free resources for parents at www.Understood.org.

RTM is proud to work with the Kids in Need Foundation, whose mission is to ensure that every child is prepared to learn and succeed in the classroom.

Through our involvement, we support classrooms in economically challenged communities across the country by assembling backpacks filled with school supplies.

We help support the following programs:

Second Responder

The Second Responder® program provides school supplies to students affected by natural disasters.

School Ready Supplies

The School Ready Supplies program provides elementary students with new backpacks and the core supplies needed for success.
