A Little About United Way




I know lots of you hear about the United Way--especially around football season..It is my understanding that the NFL is a huge partner with United Way. Well United Way is at work everyday in our community.
I have the wonderful opportunity to work for a United Way Agency, The Children's Center for Communication and Development. There are many services that we would not be able to provide if it weren't for the United Way.
Ii is almost time for the Annual Campaign to raise money for our LOCAL United Way. Many of you work for companies that participate. I have heard "Oh, Im not giving...that money goes to some person far away." NOT TRUE!! The money you give stays LOCAL!!
SO, as the United Way campaign comes around, please consider donating...they make it easy. A Fair Share Giver is one who gives one-hour per month of their salary...so very doable!!! You won't even miss it and all of our hours really add up to help our community! Thanks...the thank you that you may get from a recepient will warm your heart and make it all worth it!
