Heres How it Works
goes to United Way, where volunteers study the
outcomes of programs and decide how the money can
best be used in the community.
A donation
make measurable differences in peoples lives,
strengthening OUR community.
Then the funds are invested in local programs
that
10
Instead of focusing on one single issue, we focus
on lots of them.

• Investing in Youth Children
• Strengthening Families
• Improving Community Health Wellness
• Helping Neighbors in Crisis
• Supporting Older Adults
• Caring for People with Special Physical or Mental
  Challenges

When you give to the United Way, you can choose
to direct your gift to the issues that matter
most to you, or you can give to the Community
Impact Fund which is carefully monitored by
volunteers who will invest your donation in the
programs impacting our communitys most pressing
needs.This way, your donation not only goes to
the immediate need that everyone is aware of but
also addresses those that are less obviousbut no
less important.
