On the Road Lending helped 200 clients hit hard during COVID-19 through the Stand Together Foundation Give Together Now campaign. The nationwide community effort raised $100 million and helped more than 200,000 families. Our 200 clients received $500 each to help buy food and other essentials—a significant safety net given 40% of households have less than $400 saved for emergencies. We estimate 85% of our clients work for or own small businesses hurt by the pandemic and half of our borrowers have been negatively impacted.
We’re thankful for the Stand Together Foundation for helping raise these essential funds. In celebration of the successful fundraising effort, our CEO, Michelle Corson, told our story to the national audience. Get your Kleenex ready, because it’s going to make you feel good about helping On the Road Lending get hardworking families on the road to success!
