Here To Help Foundation Aims To Keep Its Clients Self-Sufficient

Emergencies can strike with very little warning leaving people with basic needs like furniture or transportation.

Bob and Robin Schwartz started the Here To Help Foundation in 2007 to fill those needs.  The organization assists those who are facing an emergency situation and help them keep moving forward and maintain self-sufficiency.

The organization doesn't take applications from people directly. They must be reffered by a qualified advocate, non-profit or social worker.

One of the clients, Joseph Marion III, was aided with the purchase of a used car. Transportation to and from work is a common need.
