Civil Service Emergency Fund

An emergency fund has been established to assist full-time status civil service employees who are facing economic crisis. The fund is overseen by a committee that works together to solicit donations for the fund, evaluate applications and distribute funds.

Eligible employees may receive up to $500 in a 12-month period. Awards will be subject to fund availability.

Donors
