The RV Dealership Employee Emergency Relief Program is a new initiative providing financial assistance to RV dealership employees experiencing hardship.
The Ron & Lisa Fenech Family Foundation made the program possible with a $500,000 donation to the Mike Molino Learning Center.
The program provides financial assistance to dealership employees experiencing hardship because of natural disasters and other catastrophic events that lead to major expenses or income loss. Employees facing family health issues, floods or home fires may qualify.
RV dealership employees can apply for one-time grants totaling up to $2,500. Applicants must be dealership employees; RV dealership owners/principals are not eligible.
Brinkley RV co-founder Ron Fenech said, “Our own family has seen first-hand how emergency financial assistance can make a big difference to families and individuals experiencing a health crisis or other catastrophic event.”
Fenech said the foundation wanted to give back to the industry through the program.
RV Learning Center Board Chairman Jeff Pastore said, “We thank Ron, and the Fenech family, for supporting dealership employees through this special emergency relief program that will provide some financial relief during difficult times.”
Approved funds will be disbursed directly to the employee or a designated service provider on the employee’s behalf. To learn more about the program, click here.
