Helping Hands Emergency Assistance Program

Doing The Right Thing is the first and most important value that Willoway Nurseries operates under. That core value applies to more than just our interactions with our customers, it begins with how we support our employees. The Helping Hands program was developed by employees wishing to  support others in times of crisis, filling the gaps between standard benefit plans and public resources. A committee was developed to help determine how to best support those in need, creating a program funded by employee contributions and charity events hosted throughout the year. The Program Whether it be a home catastrophe, natural disaster, or medial issues, hardships come in many forms. The Helping Hands program has three parts designed to provide support to employees and their immediate family

• A fund that can be used to help pay bills during financial hardships
• A list of resources available to employees and the public that are available anytime
• Ways for employees to donate and participate in supporting the fund and program

How does it work? The Helping Hands committee is responsible for directing employees in need to the different resources available. Applications made by employees who qualify for financial assistance from the fund are reviewed, and money is awarded based on need and available resources. They also maintain a list of public resources, and manage donations made to fund the program. Click on the links below to learn more, or email the committee at helpinghands@wwninc.com
