Give to the Emergency Assistance fund
|
A recent fire in Fort Worth displaced a UTA employee who fortunately was not hurt, but will be without their home for an undetermined amount of time. The Employee Emergency Fund (EEF) is available to provide short-term assistance for employees experiencing significant temporary financial hardship. The fund helps eligible employees cover basic needs. We all believe it will never happen to us, so if you can, donate to EEF through automatic payroll deduction or give a one-time gift to help a fellow employee.
