Helping Our Own
It's often difficult to ask for help, but occasionally a crisis arises that leaves us facing a financial emergency, requiring assistance beyond our own resources, and no other choice.
Helping Our Own, funded by employees of 老司机福利网 to benefit employees of 老司机福利网, was created to offer that assistance. This program provides a one-time monetary gift to any full-time or part-time permanent SLU employee experiencing a valid financial crisis. Eligibility for assistance requires at least one year of employment with the University.
Helping Our Own exemplifies the University mission in action 鈥� as we continue to build a community concerned for one another and committed to serving those in need.
If you are in need of assistance, contact Cathy Zimmer at cathy.zimmer@slu.edu or Vicki Moreland at vicki.moreland@slu.edu
