The Employee Care Fund (ECF) provides a meaningful way for the members of the Blount Memorial family to help each other in times of need. Established and administer by the Foundation, the ECF is designed to assist qualified employees and their families who experience temporary financial hardships to a medical or personal emergency. You may contribute to this fund by purchasing fleece jackets, participating in the Spring Employee Silent Auction, or through payroll deduction.
