During the Great Depression, Lou Hoover devoted herself to aiding those in need. As poor families turned to Lou for assistance, she responded by hiring a team of secretaries to heed their requests. She also used her own funds to assist and sent word out to friends and charities to do the same. When she passed away, there were numerous checks discovered on Lou’s desk that were sent to her as repayment for her assistance during the depression. They were never cashed.
