Overview

Mission

The exempt purpose of the White Cap Helping Hand Fund, Inc. (or "WCHHF") is to provide emergency assistance to White Cap associates facing financial hardship due to unavoidable circumstances.

Direct charitable grants are made for temporary housing, utilities, food, clothing and other necessities due to fire, death, illness, injury or natural disaster. These grants are available to all active White Cap employees and their immediate family members or members for which they are financially responsible, but limited to individuals that are unable to pay bills for essential life expenses, essential utilities, rent or mortgage hardship, or funeral costs due to the qualifying circumstances.
