Membership Disaster Relief Funds

  Our Nation gets hit with disasters every year.  These disasters vary from hurricanes to tornadoes to floods to fires to blizzards to ice storms and whatever else Mother Nature can whip up.  One thing that is often recognized is how FSA employees step up to help in their communities when disaster strikes and often put their own needs second.  Many of us have seen how NASCOE members come together as a family to help each other out when needed. 
 
NASCOE Execs did not feel the association could establish and administer a fund that could assist members who suffered significant losses as a result of a natural disaster.  We did, however, recognize that many states and state associations establish disaster relief funds for FSA employees and NASCOE members who may have lost their homes or suffered significant losses because of a disaster.
 
NASCOE will support such funds by establishing a page on the NASCOE website where State Associations can post links to disaster funds that they may have established to assist their members.  If a State wishes to post a link or information regarding a fund that will be used for this purpose on the NASCOE website, they will need to provide the name of the fund, the link for the fund, and the contact person for the fund.  This information should be sent to the Webmaster through the Publicity Chair who will forward it on to the Webmaster for posting.
 
If your state has such a fund, please provide Tammy Eibey, National Publicity Chair, with the requested information, and it will be posted to the NASCOE Website as soon as possible.
