“Since we started our relationship with E4E Relief, they have always been able to scale in times of crisis. We had horrible storms in Texas for our own employees and agents. We had over 100 people applying at once. Everybody had really fantastic service and was able to get what they needed very quickly.”

“E4E Relief has supported other Fortune 500, 100 companies with a similar program, and they provided us with not only the model but the best practices to use. So their expertise and their advice and their guidance – we needed a partner like that.”

Lynette Bell

“I would recommend E4E Relief based on the needs of a corporation to move quickly, to move efficiently and effectively but to do it with core values that align. If you’re doing this as a corporation, you’re doing it because you value your employees. You’re doing it because it’s the right thing to do. Those align with E4E Relief, and they’re going to come in and support you to do this in the right way.”
