Best Wishes for a Joyful Holiday Season!
On behalf of the Fox Valley United Way Board of Directors and Staff, we wish you, your families and loved ones a Safe, Joyous and Blessed Holiday Season.
Thank you for all that you do to help make our community a better place to live. | |
Thanks for Your Holiday Assistance!
For the second year, Fox Valley United Way was one of a dozen local community service organizations combing efforts and sharing lists (to eliminate duplications) to bring Christmas cheer to over 4,300 local-area children.
Each of the participating organizations has some type of family gift program at this time of year. By combining our efforts, we collectively reached more households than ever.
This year's Holiday Assistance agencies were Fox Valley United Way; Ginger Creek Community Church; The Love Fox Valley Coalition; Holy Angels; Saint Marks Church; VNA Fox Valley; Family Focus; Calvary Church, Naperville; Catholic Charities; Salvation Army; Aurora Township.
Special thanks to the many FVUW supporters who donated gifts to the families on our Christmas giving tree. |

We Love Our New Digs | |
This is our first holiday season - and our second full month in our new offices at 44 E. Galena Blvd. located in downtown Aurora. When you come to visit, you'll notice right away that our new space is brighter and more efficient.
Although it's not something you'd notice, our new home also includes a much-needed basement storage! What you won't see, but what is important, is that the move reduced our rent and utility cost by 30 percent! That's more resources for our community support mission. |
