    Detroit Phoenix Center: Providing Critical Resources

    June 4, 2024

    For homeless kids on the streets of Detroit, Courtney Smith’s Detroit Phoenix Center is a warm, welcoming shelter where youth can shower, study and get some nourishment. Our recent grant helped to fill the center’s pantry with non-perishable food items and provided gift cards from McDonalds and Target to cover other critical needs.

    NOLA Children’s Hospital A Fitting End

    June 4, 2024

    From time to time our contacts at NOLA Children’s Hospital call upon us for a very special need and Kyle’s case was one. Five-year-old Kyle had spent over a year in the hospital while doctors tried unsuccessfully to cure his leukemia. His mom, a single parent, was with him every step of the way and unable to work while Kyle was in treatment. With limited funds available a proper burial was not possible. It was an honor for The Good People Fund to help make that possible for both Kyle and his Mom.

    Episode 52: Embracing Real Hope, In Trying and Challenging Times

    May 21, 2024

    In our severely challenged world — as we look to define and grasp hope — Rabbi Debra Orenstein sat with Good People Fund Director of Engagement Julie Fisher to talk about her own journey to hope … the value of hope to our mental and physical well beings …  practical tips for all of us to embrace and elevate hope … and much more.

    Rabbi Debra is spiritual leader at Congregation B’nai Israel in Emerson, NJ, and a nationally known Jewish educator and commentator on the theory and practice of hope, and the Jewish wisdom surrounding it. She recently taught a six-part online workshop, “Real Hope”  — the inaugural series in GPF’s Good People Learn program.
