Ardery Trust Fund is to provide reimbursements of funds expended by a Voiture Locale or a Grande Voiture in meeting the emergent needs of children 17 years of age or younger.  Emergent is defined as: A situation which has developed of a serious nature demanding prompt attention.”  This situation may arise out of natural disasters, i.e., floods, tornadoes, hurricane, fire, etc.  Emergent cases are given prime consideration and are undertaken by the Local Voiture where established agencies, (Red Cross, churches, welfare, etc.), are unable to move rapidly or cannot act at all.  However, this aid is not intended to replace or supplement that assistance which may be available through established agencies.
