The mission of the Ashland Emergency Fund is to provide temporary financial support to Ashland Massachusetts families and citizens in need.
The AEF uses donations to...
· Put food on the table
· Put heating oil in the tank
· Pay electric and gas bills
· Buy medicine
· Pay short-term housing costs
· Cover burial expenses
· Assist in major medical events
· Assist in disasters, accidents, and other personal traumatic events.
100% of donations are distributed to those in need. The AEF is a genuine charity, all staff members are volunteers and there is no overhead or operating expenses.
AEF Objectives
· To provide emergency financial support for citizens of the Town of Ashland, who find themselves in need, who are unable to resolve that need without assistance, and who are unable to quickly get that emergency assistance from State, Federal, or other sources;
· To create a permanent fund from which monies may be drawn to meet the emergency requirements of individuals and/or families living in Ashland;
· To establish an association of individuals able to respond rapidly to emergency situations for which the Emergency Fund itself may not have adequate resources; and
· To create a heightened sense of responsibility within the community of our duty to support our neighbors in need.
