A nickel a week dues was the start
forty-five years ago of what is now
one of the largest charitable organiza
tions in Savannah, with a reserve
capital and nearly four hundred mem
bers. The Hebrah Gmilath Hesed, well
known as the “H.G.H.”, though only
a local institution, is one of the con
tributing factors towards all national
and international organizations.
There is no drive given that the
“H.G.H.” does not participate in. It
contributes towards the maintenance
of the Atlanta Orphan Home, for
Denver and California’s consumptive
hospitals, and the like. One of the
society’s functions is to help any of
its members who are in financial need,
as well as to aid strangers who have
no money.
I or the holy days, the society sup
plies the poor families with necessi
ties; visits the sick and comforts be
reaved families.
Each member is insured in this or
ganization, and in case of death, the
family gets a certain amount of
money.
The “H.G.H.” is a worthy institu
tion, with fraternal love motivating
its actions, and the spirit of Judaism
guiding it towards helping the needy.
