UFCW 951 Foundation
What is the UFCW 951 Foundation?
The UFCW 951 Foundation, established in 1996, is a member-driven program that provides assistance to members facing difficult times, along with scholarship programs that help with child care, education, children’s extracurricular and community involvement, medical and utility bills and transportation and housing expenses. UFCW 951 is always looking for ways to expand the Foundation programs that benefit members.
Funded primarily through voluntary paycheck deductions by the UFCW 951 membership, the Foundation is an integral part of the 951 community.
The Foundation matches 25% of the amount donated by members during fundraisers. The combined total is given to the member in need.
