SISTER SEASON FUND · EMERGENCY RELIEF · KEY WEST, FL

Need a Little Help Getting Through a Difficult Time?

Unexpected things happen. An illness, accident or disaster can suddenly leave someone unable to work—and without the income they depend on.

Sister Season Fund provides temporary financial assistance to qualifying Key West hospitality and tourism workers during these difficult moments.

Can Sister Season Fund Help Me?

You may qualify for assistance if you:

  • Have experienced a temporary loss of income because of a qualifying circumstance outside of your control.
  • Can provide the documentation needed to verify your circumstances, employment, and expenses.
  • Are currently employed and/or are re-employable.

Please note: Sister Season Fund does not provide assistance for loss of employment resulting from a layoff, termination or voluntary separation from employment.
