Door County employers and workers who are dependent on child care services are being offered assistance through the United Way of Door County's Child Care Benefit Pilot Program.
The program provides Door County employers the opportunity to offer a child care stipend to their employees with matching funds provided by the Women's Fund of Door County.
Families with full-time employment and at least one child under the age of 5 in child care may be eligible to receive a $300 per month child care benefit. There are some income guidelines, but each application will be considered on its own merits. Families with part-time employment would receive a $150 monthly benefit.
Employers that participate in the nine-month program make monthly payments to United Way, which then matches their funds with the Women’s Fund portion and pays providers directly. Participants will be asked to regularly assess the program to determine whether it will be continued at the end of the pilot period.
To apply, or for more information, contact Molly Gary, childcare community coordinator at United Way Door County (920) 421-3149 or molly@unitedwaydc.com
