RFM is a blend of nine nonprofit organizations working together to ensure individuals in Madison County have access to resources and support. Each organization operates as an independent entity yet collaborates strategically to address various needs in the community. RFM provides essential resources including rental and utility assistance, job coaching, interview skills, resume writing, financial literacy, social service navigation, rehabilitation connections, laundry facilities and showers.
“We can amplify our impact and advance our mission of empowering individuals and families in need, making a tangible difference in the lives of those we serve."
“The mission, values and efforts of those at RFM closely resemble those of MPL and the employees within the entire Heartland Area,” said MPL Heartland Area Manager Jayson Nohl. “Partnering with RFM allows us both to work toward achieving our goal of enhancing the lives of those less fortunate and those impacted by unfortunate life events.”
Making a positive impact on the vulnerable members of the local community is the driving force behind the MPL Heartland Area’s philanthropic efforts.
