WHO WE ARE

About The FLEET FUND

The Fleet Fund is an organization dedicated to helping our neighbors who need assistance when some unexpected event or personal difficulty brings them to a place of serious financial hardship. The social and economic disruptions brought about by the coronavirus pandemic have made our community painfully aware of the vulnerability of some of our neighbors. But even beyond the immediate stresses caused by this pandemic, there are always those among our neighbors who need assistance.

The Fleet Fund partners with social service agencies, educational institutions and other organizations to provide an additional, flexible and confidential source of assistance. The Fleet Fund strengthens the safety net that supports our community.

The Fleet Fund is committed to the dignity and privacy of the individual. All assistance provided by The Fleet Fund is kept strictly confidential.

“I see families struggle to pay for an unexpected bill such as a major auto repair, unforeseen home repair, or dental bill. I believe that we lift our community up by providing families with the help they need to maintain their security and well-being.

“My work with the Fire-Rescue Department let me see Wellfleet’s community with a degree of intimacy that those outside of public safety or social services might not. I was brought into contact with many of our neighbors whose medical, emotional, and financial challenges can remain invisible, even in a small town like ours.”

—Dan Silverman

“I see the undue burdens on many of our residents who struggle to secure a decent year-round home in the town they love, where they work, want to put down roots and contribute to the diversity of our community. There are many times when a little help will go a long way.”

—Elaine McIlroy

“I’ve experienced not only the joys of living in a town ‘where everybody knows your name’ but have also witnessed the real struggles that come with living in a community dependent upon a seasonal economy. Wellfleet has earned a well-deserved reputation as a community in which members reach out in times of need to support friends, neighbors and strangers alike.”

—Nancy Winslow
