Detroit Phoenix Center: Providing Critical Resources

June 4, 2024 by Andrea Good

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 by Andrea Good

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.

Stocking the Shelves!

March 19, 2024 by Andrea Good

With end-of-season sales in full swing, we love nothing better than going on a shopping spree for some of our grantees who are overwhelmed by requests for all kinds of clothing for kids, for babies, for women and men who just don’t have the means to clothe themselves or their family properly. Imagine! $10.00 winter coats!

Ayin Tova

Ayin Tova provides yarn, knitting needles, friendship and community to evacuees who were relocated following October 7th to hotels around the country. Volunteers bring senior evacuees care and comfort during difficult times. A donation from Good People Fund helped purchase yarn so these circles of caring may continue to work their magic.

Home-cooked Shabbat Meals for Soldiers

March 14, 2024 by Andrea Good

Shabbat Meals for Soldiers

It’s been a privilege for us to help provide home-cooked meals for  Israel’s hard-working soldiers on the northern border. Amidst the frequent shelling,  Shelley Liss Barkan and a corps of volunteers from around Shlomi have been preparing delicious meals for Shabbat every week since the
war began.
