What is Share to Care Fund, Inc.?

Each and every day, ASC employees go the extra mile to serve our customers, their families and each other. We care about them deeply and are so proud to offer the Share to Care fund which enables employees and others to financially support ASC healthcare heroes in time of need.   

Share to Care Fund, Inc. is a 501(c)(3) charitable organization funded by donations. The fund was developed to provide financial assistance and temporary relief for employees and/or their families encountering sudden financial hardship due to unexpected life events such as a natural disaster, major illness, or a non-work-related accident.

How to Donate to Share to Care

Anyone can make contributions to the Share to Care fund easily using PayPal. 

ASC employees can also enroll in a payroll deduction where an amount of their choosing is automatically deducted from each paycheck and deposited into the Share to Care fund.

In much the same way that many droplets of rain can quickly fill a bucket, the many small contributions from throughout our ASC family all help to create an impactful resource for our employees in time of need.
