About
Established in 1997 by the late Elwin Rutledge, Our Commitment, Inc has been serving the community for over 25 years. Initially established to help the terminally ill, our mission has expanded to help the underserved community.
Health, Education, and housing are three areas in which we take a keen interest. We will be partnering with the City of Hawthorne's efforts to get people into transitional housing. Stay tuned for more information.
