Passing-It-On Supports Americans in Financial Distress and Creates Opportunities to Help
New Online Directory Makes Neighbors of Us All
NEW YORK, Nov. 15, 2010 /PRNewswire/ -- It is not every day that a new idea comes along with the potential to bind Americans together to strengthen communities, support the national economy, and save families from financial disaster. But, it is happening today through a new online membership service known as Passing-It-On. This exciting new movement is based on a timeless concept: that we are here to help each other, and our nation is only as strong as the communities and families within.

"Passing-It-On is designed to help ordinary, hard-working Americans who are struggling because of an unexpected crisis or changes in our economy," said Robert Schaeffer, originator of Passing-It-On. "No family should have to lose their home or do without health insurance, not when there are so many good-hearted people who are willing to help." Passing-It-On makes helping people, or requesting help, as simple as accessing the secured website, completing a small registration form, and paying a modest fee to join as an individual member or a corporate sponsor. Passing-It-On allocates its membership fees directly to helping the people who join asking for mortgage or insurance assistance.
Passing-It-On is structured as an online membership, rather than a non-profit organization, in order to operate in an open-book and unrestricted way. Corporate sponsors support the directory's administration and promotion costs. Sponsors also offer special discounts to Passing-It-On members, providing another incentive to support the directory and its mission.
In addition to helping families in need and providing a way for individuals and companies to support their communities, Passing-It-On benefits many worthwhile non-profit charities in the U.S. by motivating volunteer service that is vital to their efforts. Everyone who receives financial assistance through Passing-It-On is required to give in turn by volunteering service to a local non-profit. So many more are helped indirectly by Passing-It-On members through the work of these non-profits.
Content developer for the website, Lorrie Tabar, stated that "Passing-It-On is truly unique; it is re-creating our concept of community and resurrecting our sense of being good 'neighbors'. It both ignites and facilitates generosity. Everyone benefits in some way - and that is what really makes this different."
More information about Passing-It-On is available on the website: http://www.passing-it-on.com/.
"Giving is contagious," Mr. Schaeffer declares. "We are inviting everyone in the U.S. to join hands with us in our mission to give, connect and rebuild our society - one family at a time."
