Employee Assistance Fund Helps Family Reunite

In the early days of the war in Ukraine, WGCC employee Dan Zellhoefer and his family found themselves racing against time to bring a loved one to safety. Through the support of The Shield Foundation and the generosity of the WGCC community, Alina's mother, Svetlana, was able to escape the conflict and begin a new chapter in the United States.
