Greetings! 

Your financial contribution is important. So is your advocacy and your volunteering. This year's United Way pledge form also allows you to pledge volunteer hours.

 

We will report the number of hours pledged and reported. You can already report your hours here if you wish to do so.
 
Together we can make this community better.

Day of Caring Wrap 
 
Volunteers from 53 companies contributed an estimated 5,000 hours on May 9 during United Way's Day of Caring. The estimated total volunteer impact to the community was $110,700. 

As a result of these volunteer efforts:
  • Three ramps were built to give seniors more independence.
  • Several camps are now ready to welcome children for summer programs.
  • Many seeds were planted that will produce fresh food for low-income families.
  • Over 6,000 students know how to sign up for summer reading programs through the local library.
  • Homes were painted and rehabbed.
  • Food was sorted and boxed.
