Many individuals and families are facing financial hardship from the severe slowdown in business over the coronavirus spread.
In response to such need, Navy Pier has created an Employee Assistance Fund to provide assistance for individual employees who have been employed continuously the last 3 months and are experiencing a demonstrated need. These funds will aid in the expenses related to rent, utilities, food, childcare, etc.
The Fund is supported by voluntary donations from employees, Navy Pier and any entity or person who wants to assist Navy Pier employees faced with unexpected financial challenges due to COVID-19.
By contributing today, you are making a difference for the Navy Pier community. We are grateful for your generosity.
