Dwight is your neighbor. Like so many others in our community, his life has been upended by the COVID-19 pandemic. But, his life wasn’t exactly easy before all of this, either. Dwight lives in a neighborhood known for poor health outcomes due to a variety of factors, including lack of access to healthy food, safe spaces to walk outside and reliable transportation – just to name a few.

Stories like Dwight’s are confirmation of what we already knew to be true – that certain people fair much worse than others when faced with everyday obstacles—and even worse in the case of a global crisis. 

So, how can we help Dwight and our other neighbors experiencing even more difficulty than usual during this uncertain time?

Palm Health Foundation has established The Neighbors Helping Neighbors Fund to put small grants directly into the hands of residents who are struggling to pay their rent, access food, receive medical treatment and more. This fund will aid in efforts to help our neighbors recover, rebuild and plan for the future.

Please give to The Neighbors Helping Neighbors Fund today to help our community’s most vulnerable residents.

Palm Health Foundation has committed $200,000 of our own grantmaking funds to provide a dollar-for-dollar match for every contribution made to The Neighbors Helping Neighbors Fund. For every dollar you donate, we will match it with a dollar in the fund. 

Together, we can help our neighbors like Dwight. We can ensure that our neighbors have the resources they need to weather the challenges ahead and emerge stronger than ever.

Donate now to take advantage of the CARES Act which establishes a new, temporary charitable deduction (limited to $300) in tax year 2020 for taxpayers who claim the standard deduction.
