United Way donations stay in the community
Your generosity is at the very heart of change in your community!
United Way donations stay in the community where they are raised to help those most in need.
Community Investment Committees comprised of a United Way Director, past Board Directors of United Way, a bank staff member and two community representatives diligently review all funding applications in January and February.
Priorities are determined and recommended investment levels for each approved funding application meeting United Way criteria and guidelines, are presented to the Board of Directors. Most funding recipients are unable to access other funding sources for programs and services needed in the community. The need is great and that is why your donation big or small, is so important.
This year’s campaign is now within 30% of our goal and your help is needed. A troubled economy, rising costs and fewer employment opportunities continue to increase the need for a helping hand up. Please consider making a donation in support of your community and fellow citizens.
Staff, volunteers and the Board of Directors wish everyone a safe and joyful Holiday Season and a Happy New Year!
