Years ago, Rob Schwartz was
Federation's Young Adult Division
liaison to Hebrew Free Loan, and
was amazed to learn about the
agency. "I agreed to work with this
group, and I had no idea what they
did, but I showed up, and they put
me right to work." That convinced
Rob to remain active with HFL, help-
ing agency strategic planning and
community outreach initiatives.
"We are active. We have a positive
impact," says Rob. "Many people
come away with the bridge they
need to sustain their lives, which is
so important."
As a frontline agency directly assist-
ing the Jewish community, Rob says
HFL is connecting with greater num-
bers of people in need. "I have enough
history with HFL to see the client evo-
lution. Years ago, we could help peo-
ple get by with smaller amounts and
less urgency than we see now. We
work hard to assist as many people as
we can. HFL is a great resource. It's a
great thing to come here and help
move the community forward."
