Celebrating 25 Years of Caring
This fall marks a special occasion – the 25th Anniversary of United Way Year of Caring. You're invited to join us as we celebrate the dedication of donors and volunteers working together to build a stronger community. In recognition of this anniversary, this campaign year we hope to raise an additional $250,000 for a special initiative for next summer called “Meet Up and Read Up!”
Together with community partners, this will provide local kids with free, healthy meals and quality enrichment programs. With those elements combined, we will be closing the summer meal gap and preventing summer learning loss. Together, we can improve more lives in our region this year.
When giving through your workplace campaign or online, please consider increasing your annual gift to United Way Community Investment by $25, $250 or 25 percent.
