In 2020, the Foundation established the Team Member Emergency Fund in an effort to support Team Members experiencing financial hardship due to extraordinary circumstances. To date, the fund has helped cover living expenses to prevent homelessness, medical expenses in the face of crisis, transportation costs for dedicated Team Members to commute to work, and damages due to disaster. Born out of the overwhelming generosity and desire to help others Residents and Team Members have raised over $157,000 and supported more than 100 Team Members. Team Members are encouraged to complete an application through Human Resources. Disbursement of funds is decided by a committee comprised of one Human Resources Team Member, one Resident at-large, and two Foundation Board volunteers.
