CSEA
sends our deepest concern to our members and families being affected by the
North Bay Wildfires (Tubbs, Atlas Peak, Nuns and Partrick fires) in the Napa, Sonoma,
Mendocino and Lake County communities.
“It’s
heartbreaking to see people lose so much, so quickly,” Association President
Ben Valdepeña said. “Our CSEA family takes care of one another, and we are
reaching out to help those affected by the fires.”
CSEA
member leaders and staff are actively working with members impacted by the
fires. CSEA provides emergency assistance to members in good standing whose
primary residence is deemed uninhabitable and partially or temporarily
condemned by an official agency.
The
Dorothy Bjork Assistance Fund provides financial relief to members in need. The
fund subsists solely on the generous donations of CSEA members and is disbursed
through two different programs: The Emergency Assistance Program and the
Humanitarian Assistance Program. CSEA members who have been impacted can apply
for up to $1,000 in emergency assistance. Visit csea.com/bjork for applications
and forms.
Support
for the Dorothy Bjork Fund doesn’t come from union dues—it relies solely on
donations from our CSEA family. If you’ve already made a donation, thank you
for your generosity. If not, please consider how much your contribution will be
appreciated by those members in need. To make a donation, call CSEA Member
Benefits at 866-ITS-CSEA (866-487-2732) or click HERE for
