Why United Way?

IMPACT… Did you know that every $1 you invest can be leveraged up to $7.53 when you give to
United Way?? That’s right! United Way stretches your donation to make BIG impacts in our
community. And your contribution supports 26 programs run by United Way, and 18 programs of

childhood education, homelessness, financial instability, and health.

…children are prepared to succeed in school.
…people in our community won’t go hungry.
…that no family struggles to make ends meet.
…individuals are working to improve financial stability.
