In this episode of 716 Together, host Tammie Lee Demler interviews Jill Redman, founder of HopeBridge Collaborative Western New York, a unique nonprofit focused on helping individuals and families who fall just above traditional poverty guidelines and often do not qualify for government assistance. Through a community thrift boutique in Hamburg, HopeBridge uses proceeds from donated clothing and goods to help residents overcome financial emergencies such as car repairs, utility bills, work-related expenses, and educational costs. Redman shares inspiring success stories, discusses the organization's mission of preserving dignity and self-sufficiency, and explains how community members can support the effort through donations, volunteering, and fundraising initiatives
