People for People Foundation

Welcome to the People for People of Gloucester County web site.  People for People has been around since 2003 as a grassroots 501c3 organization that has provided grants, case management, and advocacy for thousands of people, your neighbors, in their time of need. We help the normally self sufficient in finding help and services when faced with a family crisis such as loss of job, reduced hours, illness or death in the family, or other family emergencies. Those we help are the ones that “Fall Through the Cracks,”, you know, the family that has too much to qualify for traditional government and charitable assistance, but not enough to make it on their own without a little help. We are sure you know many people like that, the working needy needing a hand up not a hand out.

People for People serves as case managers and advocates for those seeking assistance, many for the first time in their lives and not knowing where to turn. We work with families seeking help with such traditional items such as utilities, heating fuel, food, clothing, rental assistance, medicines, medical supplies, and other life essentials. We also find help for those in need for things such as ramps, appliances, furniture, toys, car repairs, and other quality of life items.

People for People through their one of a kind Hands Across the County Program teams together with over 100 help providers, both traditional and non-traditional, ranging from government agencies to service and fraternal clubs, to religious and veterans organizations, to form a safety net for the average family when they need help. We are able to pool resources and expertise through our partners to help those in need, and do it quickly. Most of those referred to People for People come from government agencies, elected officials offices, and other charities asking us to case manage and advocate on behalf of those seeking help. We are the “Go To” hub for not only those seeking help, but for the many other help providers as well.

People for People also offers forums for other help providers. In 2010 we hosted forums on topics such as utility assistance, homelessness, and other important topic. In 2011 many more such forums will be offered.

Please, go through our web site at this time to learn more about our organization. Also consider making a donation as well. People for People receives no government funding. ALL of our funds come from donations from the public and fund raising events. Help us to continue to help your neighbors in their time of need.
