In these unprecedented times brought about by the worldwide pandemic and the COVID-19 health crisis, it's difficult to find any individual, family, or business for that matter, which has not been impacted. With the generous support of Omega brothers like you, our emergency response team is helping to support our fellow brothers of Beta Lambda Lambda Chapter and their families by providing additional financial assistance to augment the numerous resources now being offered through local, state and national governments. This emergency relief fund, sponsored by See It Through Foundation and named Project Uplift, was established to provide modest cash assistance to impacted brothers, specifically to offset utilities and rents/mortgages. For information and guidance on accessing additional local, state and national financial assistance, please reach out to one of the See It Through Foundation board members or the Beta Lambda Lambda Chapter executive team.
​
As the pandemic has set in, and the world health organizations continue to assess and learn, we understand the financial challenges many brothers and their families face over the next several weeks and months due to corporate lay-offs and the slowing economy. In See It Through’s unrelenting effort to support those brothers in need, we believe Project Uplift can provide some level of relief and soften the financial burden. Together, we can take quick action in supporting one another as we all navigate the crisis together. Now is the time to act and help Omega men and their families during these most difficult times.
​
Apply today to receive up to $250 in cash assistance to help offset essential expenses during this global crisis. Funds can only be used on utilities, rent or mortgage payments. Our application takes less than two minutes.
​
Key to See It Through Foundation's mission is supporting the community, and in these unprecedented times we believe it’s our duty to help as many Beta Lambda Lambda chapter brothers and their families as possible. If you are an active Omega brother and member of Beta Lambda Lambda Chapter, we encourage you to apply today. Applications will be reviewed on an ongoing basis and are subject to approval and availability of funds. Want to contribute to Project Uplift? Funds can be directed to the See It Through Foundation via the donation section of the Foundation's website @ seeitthrough.org/donations/ and by referencing "Project Uplift" with your donation.
