Your gift today will be used to reward our caregivers during National DSP Week and all year long.

Government funding provides only the necessities. In fact, the government reimbursement rate for direct care is $14.17/hour for daytime shifts, and $10.08/hour for overnight shifts. Think about your life, could you make this work? Hammer’s Employee Excellence Fund is what makes the difference. Hammer is Voted a Top Work Place Year after Year because our caregivers are respected, acknowledged and rewarded for their best work.

Employee Excellence fund – 100% funded by donors like you – provides:

• Gifts for Years of Service – Hammerversaries
• Scholarship Funds for Education
• Training
• Money for Emergency Car Repairs
• Staff Appreciation Gifts

Hammer’s goal is to increases employee retention, keeping people at Hammer, longer.

Thank you for supporting our caregivers, the heart and soul of Hammer.
