Preparations are being made for the upcoming 2014 Annual United Way Campaign. Funds raised will help support 16 local health care and human service agencies provide programs for residents in our 40-mile service area. Program services reach residents in Des Moines, Henry, Lee and Louisa counties in Iowa and parts of Henderson and Hancock counties in Illinois.
Funds raised in the fall campaign will be allocated to the United Way funded agencies beginning in January of the following year.
The demand for services continually increases and resources are often strained. Working with many partners, United Way continually looks for long-term ways to ensure that people who need assistance receive the help they need. Thank you for your thoughtful consideration to help. It is appreciated by many.
The United Way Campaign Cabinet and Board of Directors are pleased to announce that the $601,013 Annual Campaign Goal has been reached!!
Funds raised during the Annual United Way Campaign benefit many people from the 40-mile radius service area. Local United Way dollares provide those being helped with the assistance they need at a time when they need it most.
Everyone's efforts and support are truly appreciated ... the impact it has on many people and their families is tremendous.
