How to Apply for Hurricane Relief for HHC Employees

Yesterday, The Fund for HHC announced its campaign to raise money for employee Hurricane Relief. Through this campaign, The Fund will provide small, one-time monetary grants to assist HHC staff members who have been affected by the storm, and are suffering ongoing hardship.

As usual, HHC staff members are there for each other. We are pleased to report that we are already getting a strong response to our request. Donations are coming in steadily, from members of the HHC community as well as from friends and colleagues outside of HHC that want to help.

The following is the information we are requesting from those who need support. Please send it to us via email to fund@nychhc.org, by fax at 646-458-3890, or mail to The Fund for HHC, Attention: Hurricane Relief Fund, 346 Broadway, Suite 715W, New York, NY 10013.

Here's what we need:

• Title, first and last name

• Permanent address

• Current phone number

• Cell phone number

• HHC Facility and department where you are employed

• Address where you are presently living

• Number of family members in your household

• If awarded, where money should be sent

• Current need or particular hardship that you are enduring due to the hurricane (100 words or less)

And for those of you who would still like to make a financial contribution, please click on the Donate button at www.thefundforhhc.org to make a credit card donation. Checks should be made payable to "The Fund for HHC, Hurricane Relief" and mailed to The Fund for HHC, 346 Broadway, Suite 715, New York, New York, 10013.

Please note that material goods -- blankets, clothes, etc. -- should be donated to the Red Cross or other organizations that are set up to receive and process them.

Again, thank you for your concern for fellow HHC employees in need, and your cooperation at this difficult time. And to those who need our help, we are here for you.
