What is LOGAN Cares?
It is help with an unexpected expense.
LOGAN Cares (Co-workers Assist each other in Rebuilding Employee Stability) provides a way for all of us to help each other with unexpected expenses caused by an event beyond our control. Employees going through a crisis or hardship (emergency situation) may apply for assistance once every 18 months.
Generally, a check will be cut and mailed directly to the vendor. When possible, the committee will try to pay the vendor via credit card. However, this is not always possible.
​
LOGAN Cares will never give funds directly to the employee.
​
The frequency of gift, amount, and type of need is at the discretion of the LOGAN Cares Committee.
