The Fund is intended to provide basic assistance to our people who incur extraordinary expenses, damages or losses as the result of disasters or other emergency hardship situations. Emergency hardship may be attributable to illness, death, accident or other personal events, but not to debt or financial mismanagement.

Our Mission

• Airfare related to death or serious illness of a family member
