People for People Fund- National Make a Difference Day
To the editor:
With National Make a Difference Day, October 26, just around the corner, it’s the perfect time to reflect on the ways that we can all give back and pay it forward.
Now more than ever, it is critical that we uplift one another. You may think that you’ll never need a helping hand from a friend or neighbor, but the reality is that unforeseen events, particularly financial difficulties, can impact anyone.
Whether it’s a car accident, sudden illness or injury, unexpected layoff or recent diagnosis, it only takes a small bump to disrupt a solid foundation. That’s why, at People for People Fund, we believe in the power of neighbors helping neighbors.
A 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization, we provide interim financial support to hardworking, self-reliant Orange, Sullivan and Ulster County residents. These are people just like you and me who hold a steady job and regularly pay their bills but are suddenly faced with an unexpected financial hardship. By providing small grants, we help people get back on their feet and, ultimately, regain economic stability.
So, this National Make a Difference Day, we remind you that the notion of neighbors helping neighbors begins with you.
