Greetings!
On Tuesday, July 20th, we will kick off the Cornerstone Campaign. This effort, led by Reese Daniel of Northeast Georgia Health System, lays the foundation and is the "cornerstone" on which we build the fall campaign. During the month of August, a group of companies will run early United Way campaigns to help set the pace for the year and build momentum.
During the next six months, we will be asking
Hall County to TAKE ACTION by giving, advocating and volunteering. The Cornerstone Companies will take the lead at the kick-off event by "stuffing the bus" with school supplies for children in the Gainesville City and Hall County school systems. These companies understand that when students have the tools they need, they enter school better prepared to learn.
Follow their lead. TAKE ACTION by donating supplies. Between now and August 2, United Way of Hall County, your local Publix Super Markets, and the Hall County Library System are partnering to "stuff the bus" with School Tools for Cool Kids in Hall County, grades Kindergarten - 12. Read more about it below or Click Here for ways you can help.
