United Way                                    
The United Way is a not-for-profit organization dedicated to area PEOPLE! It is a community-wide effort to voluntarily raise and allocate funds efficiently and effectively to support necessary human services.

The United Way is ONE CAMPAIGN that does it all for the participating agencies..Saves campaign costs, saves the valuable time of volunteers and the Agency Representatives.

The United Way does not prevent other campaigns...Because...It is voluntary. No agency can be forced to join, the agencies that do join must meet standards, and some National Agencies have policies prohibiting membership.
