The Bob Wright Memorial Fund

Bob’s friends have established the Bob Wright Memorial Fund in memory of Bob and his commitment to supporting the elder homeless community. These funds will be used to support the Hearth Outreach Program to help homeless elders find permanent housing and supportive services, with a particular interest in helping elders with funds for emergency needs to ensure their well being.
