Give where you live, give where you work, and keep it local!
September, 2011: Tipp City Area United Way’s 2011 Annual Campaign is underway and community support is needed to achieve our goal of $180,000.00. Rick Mains Jr., Campaign Chair announced, “It was very uplifting to exceed our goal last year. Additional funds were allotted to our partner agencies due to the community’s generosity. In the best of times, we had people who skipped meals out of necessity, lacked medical care or occasionally needed to sleep in cars or vans. With less government funding many of our partner agencies will need additional income to keep up with the ever increasing demand due our high unemployment rate. Right now more than ever, we need Tipp City, Monroe and Bethel Township area residents and business leaders to give to our annual campaign so together we can ease the burden of our needy.”
Carolyn Kiser, Co-Campaign Chair concluded,” To achieve this year’s goal, we have once again, dedicated our board to personally reach out into the community to partner with our local businesses and individuals. With the increased support of our local businesses participating in the campaign, and offering payroll deductions, employees are provided with an easy way of contributing, while making a difference in the lives of others. We are hopeful that more individuals and businesses will help by show their generosity through increased giving or participating for the first time to help us meet the increasing demands of our partner agencies.”
Your local United Way is working to advance the common good by focusing on education, income and health. Through our work at the United Way we realize that a quality education that leads to a stable job with enough income to support your family through retirement and good health are the building blocks to a better life. We support programs operated by trusted, local nonprofit organizations, and that’s why we are asking for you to give where you live, give where you work, and keep it local.
Rick Mains, Jr, Campaign Chair stated, “Last year over an additional $48,000.00 was raised from outside employers’ campaigns throughout our area. Some of our local businesses in the area offer employee campaigns. What many people do not realize is that even if you work outside the Tipp City, Monroe, and Bethel Township areas, you can have your workplace donation or payroll deduction designated back to your home town Tipp City Area United Way. The best thing about giving to your local United Way is that the dollars stay here locally to be invested in our community, helping your friends and neighbors. Every single dollar counts, and makes a real difference.”
