Needy Hour Loans Fund Aids Families In Distress
A philanthropic physician seeded the associated charities with 75 to seed a needy hour loan fund. Loans at 6 percent are secured by notes or guarantees to prevent loan sharking and eviction. The fund, temporarily overdrawn by 3.85, permits few more loans until repaid or funds grow. Recent loans aided a widow, a white sewing worker, and a five daughter widow, reducing rents and keeping employment. Donations to John Joy Edson at Silk Street support this effort, alongside the charity’s broader finances and personal services.
