Schorr is a newly active member of Defend the Fatherless and will serve on the Development and Fundraising Committee.
Defend the Fatherless is a non-profit organization based out of Fort Mill, South Carolina which aims to lessen the burdens of foster and adoptive families in the community.

From tangible necessities such as meals and clothing to facilitating like-minded friendships and connections, Defend the Fatherless provides families with access to invaluable resources to help them navigate the unique challenges they face.
“Setting an example of serving for our children is a driving force behind my ‘why’: for them to learn, actively participate, and understand how important it is to be a positive force within your community can only be taught by example,” said Schorr. “Defend the Fatherless fulfills many basic needs, but is unique in that it provides a community and connection for foster children and families when it is needed the most. I am grateful to be joining such a wonderful team that emphasizes the importance of developing connection with those they serve.”
The organization has grown to support more than sixty families a month. As the team grows, so does its connection with the people it serves. Its board and team of volunteers are united by a shared goal of making a lasting positive impact on the lives of foster and adoptive families.
