Free Loan On Web
THE HERITAGE
Hebrew Free Loan Association has
created a Web site that will con-
nect potential borrowers to the
Bloomfield Township-based agency's
services and give donors an easy
way to perform a mitzvah. The Web
address is www.hfladetroit.org.
Hebrew Free Loan, an agency
of the Jewish Federation of
Metropolitan Detroit, grants interest-
free loans to individuals with a wide
range of needs, from adoptions to
medical emergencies, from mortgage
payments to funeral expenses.
The Web site lists the types of
loans available, outlines the simple
application process and invites
potential borrowers to call for an
interview.
Online donations to the Friends
of Hebrew Free Loan and tributes to
mark special occasions are simplified
on the new Web site. It also provides
an overview of the agency.
