HELP Committee

The HELP Committee is a Springbrook Foundation program that is 100% donor funded. Comprised of volunteer staff from across Springbrook, Springbrook Partners, and Southern Tier Connect, the HELP Committee provides emergency financial assistance to individuals receiving services who are facing urgent, short-term needs.

Support may help cover essential expenses such as utility bills, car repairs, clothing, safety-related needs, equipment, and other costs not met through personal or other funding sources. Individuals may request up to $500 per year, with applications accepted year-round and reviewed monthly. During the holiday season, a Christmas grant of up to $125 is also available.

In 2025, the HELP Committee awarded more than $37,000 in emergency assistance, highlighting the growing need for support and the vital role donor generosity plays in meeting these needs.
