Resources You Can Use: Flood Damage
Many of our BSD team members have been affected by the recent flash floods. We have put together information on resources that can help you through this difficult period, including those offered by BSD and external agencies. Check out the resources below, and let your manager know of your situation to see how BSD can assist.
Financial Assistance: Helping Hand Fund
To support our colleagues in need, the BSD Board of Commissioners has authorized the addition of $5,000 to our Helping Hand Fund. This fund was established to help team members facing hardship, like flood damage.
