Together we offer vital support to our fellow staff members in time of personal crisis!

At OMNI, our staff are our family.
And families take care of each other. That’s why we launched our Hope Fund back in early 2000.

The Hope Fund is a program that provides financial assistance to employees during times of crisis. Such crises may include a severe illness, having to suddenly care for an immediate family member, a car accident or a natural disaster.

By making a small contribution of 25 cents per pay period (approximately $6.50 a year through a payroll deduction) we can turn around the most challenging of situations from despair to hope, from a feeling of isolation to a sense of togetherness.  Whatever we contribute, OMNI will match it.

All contributions to the HOPE fund are held in trust and reviewed annually by our auditors.

In a time of crisis applications to access the HOPE fund are submitted by each home's Hope Fund representative who in turn, forwards it on to OMNI's Home Office Hope Fund Chair. The Hope Fund Chair sends the request to the 'Operating Committee' who review the request and make a funding decision based on the circumstances.  There is a maximum disbursement of $500 per request.  Note:  all applications are held in confidence.

On an annual basis all staff are informed of the revenues generated, the number of staff supported, total fund disbursed and the balance remaining in the fund.

This is yet another way OMNI cares for its family.

Letters

Dear Friend:

I just wanted to express my sincere thanks to all those who donate to the Hope Fund, I was skeptical in joining, however, I did and I am so happy.

I was injured on the job and times got rough. I was off work for some time and the Hope Fund came through, just as my son and I did not know where our next meal was coming from.

Just as I got back to wrok, I had a house fire and once again, the Hope Fund was there for us. I will always be a friend of the Hope Fund and I hope that my contribution will be a blessing for another family as it was for mine.

Yours Sincerely,

Judy
Reciepient Hope Fund
