United Way Friends,
The excitement of the first day of school has been mixed this year with concerns of our community spread of the Delta variant. Across our community, plans are being changed and the resilience of people in our community must again be put to the test.
At United Way, our timely theme is “United We’re Strong.” But it's more than just a slogan. It’s the power, endurance and spirit of our entire community. A community that has come together over the last year and a half in collaborative ways to continue to fight for the health of our community, the safe education of our students, and financial assistance to those who need it most.
In our United Way 2021 new collateral, unveiled today at our United Way community kickoff event, you can see and hear a few of the many stories of the past year.
-
Your gift supports the resilience of individuals like Ernie. In the face of experiencing homelessness, he persevered to secure stable housing and is on his way to financial stability.
-
Your gift fuels the passion of school counselors, like April and Sarah. They’ve been on the front lines assisting students through mental health challenges, and dreaming that tomorrow’s future is better than today.
-
Your gift brings comfort to someone on their worst day. Staff and volunteers, like Larry and Deb, respond with calm and compassion in the face of unplanned disasters, connecting families with valuable resources.
-
Your gift builds relationships like Anna and her Little Sister. Their sibling mentorship bond has survived across the miles, through the quarantine, and is now flourishing and growing.
At United Way, we recognize that after a year that has changed nearly every aspect of life, there is still more to do. Your gift is needed more than ever to support individuals across our community.
Will you join us? You can give at your workplace, give online or set up a recurring payment at www.uwaykpt.org/give. Thank you in advance for your support!
Together, we can make a difference.
United We’re Strong!
