Worker Crisis Fund

The Wayne County Community Foundation has established the Worker Crisis Fund – a fund designed to provide necessary help to keep employees working in the event of unforeseen difficulties. Through referrals from the Wayne Pike Workforce Alliance, the Community Foundation uses assets from this fund to alleviate barriers to employment – addressing such questions as “Do I choose whether to pay my rent or pay for an unexpected car repair needed to be able to get to work?” and “Will I have enough to eat for the upcoming months?” The fund will fill the gap of services that are not supported through other state and federal programs.

A field of interest fund like this wouldn’t be possible without The Wayne County Community Foundation being integrated and having long-standing relationships with the nonprofits that serve our community directly – thank you for your support.
