UNITED WE CARE
The Strength of Family is About to Get Stronger
Give To United We Care
…and be the difference in a Team Member’s life. You’ll be quick to realize we’re one family dedicated to our guests – and to each other. That’s why when life’s most challenging times strike, the United team works together to provide our family with help when it’s needed most.
What Will It Do?
United We Care is a special emergency fund created to assist Team Members when unexpected serious events occur – such as sudden medical costs, accidents or traumatic events. When tragedy strikes, a board made up of Team Members decides the level of assistance someone may receive.
Why is United Doing This?
First of all, our Team Members asked for it. But more importantly, it’s the right thing to do. United believes in taking care of people.
How Can I Help?
When you voluntarily enroll in United We Care, you’re donating one dollar per week out of your paycheck to our special Team Member assistance fund. That’s only twenty pennies per day – an amount you will hardly miss but enough to make a huge difference in someone’s life. The United family has started the fund with $50,000. With your contributions, we’ll help ensure the fund is here for today and tomorrow.
How Do I Sign Up?
