The UFCW Women’s Network is now accepting applications for the 2019 Childcare Grant!

The primary purpose of the UFCW Women’s Network is to unify UFCW women through an International network. Women, who comprise more than 50% of UFCW members, represent a powerful resource for the union. The Network believes that the active participation of women in the UFCW will enhance our union’s strength at the bargaining table, in organizing campaigns, and in the political arena.

Because the majority of UFCW women are hardworking mothers, and because the UFCW Women’s Network knows how expensive childcare can be, they are offering a childcare grant to offset childcare costs for our hardworking members.

  • Parents must work outside of the home,
  • Use a qualified childcare provider either licensed by the state, or on file with the IRS.
