Request Assistance
While unions as a whole help to boost wages and improve the lives of their members, that doesn’t mean that union members are immune to financial hardship. There are a variety of reasons why union members may find themselves struggling to pay utility bills, rent, groceries, or other necessities.
At AFSCME Local 88, we believe that an injury to one is an injury to all and that we need to stand in solidarity and support one another through difficult times. We currently offer assistance for temporary financial hardships through a partnership with Labor’s Community Service Agency.
If you need assistance with paying utilities, rent, groceries, transitional housing (adults only), birthday presents for your children, or other similar needs, please fill out the Request Assistance Webform. Somebody should contact you within 24-48 hours (although it may be longer if you submit the form over a holiday or weekend). Thank you so much for trusting us and we hope that we can be of service to you through this hard time.
