2024: Year in Review
In 2024, The Hello In There Foundation supported a richly diverse group of organizations—Ella's House, Health Wagon, Tennessee Justice for Our Neighbors, MusiCares, Muhlenberg Music Mission, Actors Bridge Ensemble, ALPHA House of Pinellas County, The Gulfport Multipurpose Senior Center, Circle of Friends of the Gulfport Library, Muhlenberg County Long-term Disaster Recovery Fund, WoodSongs, Color Me Country, Huntington's Disease Society of America, Hope in the Hills and Healing Appalachia, First Contact, Gulfport Senior Center Foundation, Distribute Aid, Nashville Peace and Justice Center, and Gulfportlandia—each rooted in the belief that healing begins with listening, access, and community. Though they span sectors from health care and housing to disaster recovery, music, justice, and the arts, all of these grantees center individuals who are too often left behind, creating spaces for care, creative expression, and human connection. Whether it's Ella’s House supporting student mothers with housing and stability, or the Health Wagon delivering life-saving care in rural Appalachia, or Tennessee Justice for Our Neighbors providing legal services to immigrants, these organizations do more than offer assistance—they restore hope, dignity, and belonging. Music-focused initiatives like MusiCares, WoodSongs, Muhlenberg Music Mission, and Color Me Country champion the emotional and cultural healing power of song, while groups like ALPHA House, First Contact, and the Huntington’s Disease Society of America meet people at vulnerable crossroads with compassion and support. Others—like Distribute Aid, the Nashville Peace and Justice Center, and Gulfportlandia—advocate for systemic change and equitable access to resources. The arts, seniors, rural communities, and marginalized voices all find support through this collective web of care. Together, these grantees embody the values of The Hello In There Foundation: empathy, inclusion, and the unwavering belief that every life is worthy of attention and care. Their work keeps alive John Prine’s legacy—where everyone has a voice, and every story matters.
