  • Richard Clower, GMP, job loss grant recipient

    I’ve gone to our union meetings and told people to apply for these grants.

  • Deborah Mims, APWU, disability grant recipient

    This is a great union benefit. Within a week or so of making a call, I received a check in the mail.

    — Deborah Mims, APWU Local 140, Disability Grant recipient

  • Dan Thomason, IRONWORKERS, mortgage assistance program participant

    The program is really simple to use and we were able to get the help quickly, just when we needed it. I was surprised how easy it was.

  • Maria Yaeger, AFSCME, Save My Home Hotline

    I know it's hard to ask for help, but help is out there when you call the Union Plus Save My Home Hotline. You have no idea how grateful and relieved I was to learn what they could do for me.

    — Maria Yaeger, AFSCME Local 145, Save My Home Hotline

  • Kristan McArthur, UFCW, hospital care grant recipient

    The Union Plus Grant helped me a lot. It was such a big relief after I used the $1,000 to pay off what I owed for the surgery.

    — Kristan McArthur, UFCW Local 1996, Hospital Care Grant recipient

  • Susan Geren, AFSCME, credit counseling program participant

    It was a great process. Instead of owing for life, I'll be able to pay off all my bills by 2011. I'm so grateful for the Credit Counseling Program.

    — Susan Geren, AFSCME Local 3019, Credit Counseling participant
