Making an Impact in 2022 RH Helping Hands concluded 2022 on a high note. The program had a 35% increase in distributed grants over the previous year, demonstrating significant need. Our Round Hill Country Club (RHCC) member community stepped up to support 38 grants totaling more than $100,000. Completing its third full year in operation, the RH Helping Hands program has continued to support valued RHCC employees who are facing unexpected financial distress or who may be seeking educational opportunities. Approximately 15% of RHCC employees are utilizing the program each year as a confidential and efficient resource to assist when tough times arise. 2022 Grant Trends Without a mass transit option, RHCC employees rely upon their cars to commute to the club, and RH Helping Hands has been able to assist with this ongoing challenge. Over 50% of the RH Helping Hands grants awarded in 2022 were related to automobile repair and replacement, as RHCC employees suffered the effects of inflation and supply-and-demand difficulties in the
car industry. In addition, out-of-pocket medical/dental expenses, forced moves, and bereavement expenses were common grant categories in 2022, while
COVID-related hardships waned. Read how our program, with your generous support, continued to make a difference last year in our full 2022 Annual Report. |
