priority was to locate every employee, then make sure each
has money and a place to stay

Rent-Way established a fund
several years ago to assist employees in times of need," said

to bolster the fund [in the wake of Katrina] are coming in from

to locate every employee every employee, then make sure each has
money and a place to stay." Craig added that every employee
affected is assured they have a job and will continue to be
paid. "A portion of our intranet is devoted to documents from
our Employee Assistance Program and other information to help
our employees cope with the aftermath of this devastating
storm."
