$4.0 million through the year 2011.
$4,027,200 has been distributed in the 27 years of our operation (1985 - 2011).
In 2011 our staff of volunteers worked to distribute over $180,300 to those qualified applicants.
In 2011, 346 qualified applicants were assisted through the tireless work of our volunteers.
Our primary focus is on applicants who are steadily employed who experience a temporary financial emergency or need that cannot be funded by other public or private sources. Unemployed applicants who have a steady work history and are receiving unemployment insurance, worker’s compensation, or short term disability benefits may also qualify.
These individuals are normally able to take care of their own needs but are unable to do so when a sudden event has created a temporary financial emergency. It is expected and anticipated that with help from this Fund, the problem will be resolved and the applicant will become self-sufficient again. All assistance is subject to budgetary limitations.
Those seeking assistance need to reside in Orange, Sullivan, Ulster or part of Pike Counties, the readership area of the Times Herald-Record. Such request is made with a Fund Application, supported by required documentation.
To request help, the People For People Fund requires that an application be completed to be considered for assistance.
