FRATCO EMPLOYEE SUPPORT FUND
WHAT IS IT?
Our Employee Support Fund was created to aid employees who experience unexpected financial burdens.
WHY?
We have seen increasing need for a resource which provides relief to our employees when life’s surprises get out of hand. Unanticipated life events can derail the good things you have going, and we understand that. Fratco employees deserve support during vulnerable times—That’s why we are here to help.
WHERE DOES THE MONEY COME FROM?
The Employee Support Fund consists of generous donations made by friends of Fratco and other sources. In addition, Fratco matches every dollar contributed to the fund. All funds are kept in an independent bank account, and a full accounting report is posted in the Fratco quarterly newsletter.
NEED ASSISTANCE?
If you are currently experiencing a financial difficulty, ask your manager for an application today.
