Why is PHF Sharing?
By sharing their voice, community members have confirmed what Palm Health Foundation already knew, that many experience a lack of access to healthy food, safe spaces to walk outside, reliable transportation, and a multitude of other challenges that contribute to poor health outcomes.
After hearing their stories, Palm Health Foundation established The Neighbors Helping Neighbors Fund to assist our community’s most vulnerable residents. This fund puts 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. Learn More
