Relief Fund for Hurricane Victims

Here at my new workplace, Genesis Health Care Corporation, an employee fund has been set up to benefit the victims of Hurricane Katrina. Throughout our locations, staff members have pulled together a variety of bake sales and other fundraising efforts, including "Denim for Disaster Day" where employees contribute $5 per day for the opportunity to wear jeans to work. All of these tax deductible donations will be given to the American Red Cross, and the company is matching all donations, up to $50,000…. In addition, Genesis has been in touch with Mississippi Governor Haley Barbour, who once served as the chief lobbyist in Washington, DC for the Alliance for Quality Nursing Home Care. We have at least one employee that has traveled to the region to volunteer, and we are working with the American Health Care Association for possible transfer of people to our facilities and the shipment of supplies to the area….

Call me at 410-494-8961, if you wish to send a cash donation to the Red Cross (that will be matched by Genesis) through me.
