Last Word: Emily Landsburg (July 2)
Thank you for the wonderful article on Emily Landsburg and her incredible leadership in helping to develop the Hebrew Free Loan Society of Greater Philadelphia’s five-year strategic plan. We are extremely fortunate to have Emily as a member of our HFL family.
Thank you also for bringing awareness to our organization and to our mission. HFL has been in Philadelphia for 42 years yet is unknown to a vast majority of the Philadelphia Jewish community, especially those for whom a no-fee, interest-free loan would be a lifeline.
As a 100% donor-funded organization, the strategic plan will allow us to double our outreach, provide larger loans and eliminate wait lists.
For anyone interested, we can be found at hflphilly.org.
