The Gailey Fund offers assistance to travellers and community members in crisis situations. Voucher-based services potentially available include lodging, food, and/or transportation assistance. Being a donations-based fund, there is no guarantee that services will be available.

Primarily geared for one-time-only assistance to provide the client/s with time to muster resources to address the crisis, the program has a firm six-month wait policy. Individuals and households must wait at least six months before receiving assistance again.
