You make the difference
 
Your generous gift through United Way is helping thousands of men, women and children right here in our community. You are helping thousands of children get off to a strong start and become responsible citizens of tomorrow. You are helping thousands of struggling families get through these challenging times. You are providing the support needed to keep frail older adults in their own homes. Your gift is getting results every single day. You make the difference.  
 
We'd like to introduce you to three special people whose lives you've touched.
