The United Way is YOU!
As a volunteer and contributor, you are helping meet the needs of your community by providing education on alcohol and drugs, aiding our disadvantaged citizens, supporting invaluable youth character building services and providing services for the area’s senior citizens. In total – you are helping where help is needed most.
What should I give?
|
What you give is strictly up to you based on your family’s needs and other personal considerations. The United Way asks only that you give serious thought to determining your fair share. However, it is often helpful to know the giving standards of others, which for many has been one hour’s pay per month for 12 months.
That breaks down to less than three minutes a day for the United Way. A small amount, but if everyone who can participate does, what a huge impact that will have on our community! Suppose each one of the 21 member agencies called on you – one after another. What would be the sum total of your annual gifts? Pledge one generous gift, remembering these agencies serve you and your neighbors. |
