• Caring Communities Year-End Countdown

Join Us in Building a Caring Community This Holiday Season

This year, we’re inviting local organizations to partner with United Way to make a lasting impact right here in our community. Our Caring Communities Year-End Campaign focuses on local impact, local change, with multiple ways to get involved:

  1. Make a Matching Gift: By making a year-end contribution, your organization can become a matching partner, effectively doubling the impact of every individual donation made to our campaign. With this matching gift, each dollar contributed by community members will go twice as far, directly supporting school readiness, community-building programs, and resources that help lift people out of poverty.

  2. Donate an In-Kind Gift: Support our campaign and showcase your products! Donate items toward giveaway baskets that will be awarded to donors who enter the draw with a minimum of $10 to the campaign between December 3 and December 18, 2024.

  3. Spread the Word: Help us reach more people by sharing this campaign within your networks. Together, we can amplify our impact and ensure that even more people hear about this important initiative.

To have the maximum impact, we kindly ask that corporate donations be submitted by November 28th. This will allow individual donations received from December 3rd to December 17th to be matched, maximizing the benefit to our community, as well as insure we are providing you with the recognition you deserve.
