Mission

“LOCALS HELPING LOCALS” IS THE MOTTO FOR SISTER SEASON FUND. IT IS A MOTTO THAT RINGS TRUE FOR ALL OF US GIVING SERVICE TO OUR LOCAL COMMUNITY.\nSISTER SEASON FUND GREW OUT OF A NEED RECOGNIZED IN THE HOSPITALITY COMMUNITY ON OR ISLAND. I THINK MOST OF US WOULD AGREE THAT THIS CATEGORY OF WORKERS RANGING FROM HOUSEKEEPERS, BUSSERS TO SERVERS AND BARTENDERS TEND TO BE ON THE LOWER END OF THE PAY SCALE AND MOST HAVE NO BENEFITS WHATSOEVER. COUPLED WITH THE FACT THAT THEY LIVE IN ONE OF THE MOST EXPENSIVE COMMUNITIES IN THE UNITED STATES OFTEN PROHIBITS THEM FROM ACCUMULATING MUCH IN THE WAY OF SAVINGS. WHEN SOMEONE IS SICK AND INJURED AND TEMPORARILY OUT OF WORK FOR MORE THAN A MONTH, GENERALLY THEY BECOME SO IN DEBT AND FALL SO FAR BEHIND ON RENT & UTILITIES THAT THEY CAN NEVER RECOVER.
