Day of Caring & Community Campaign Kickoff Breakfast
Stay tuned ...
On September 22, 2021 Day of Caring coincides with the Kickoff of the annual community campaign to inspire loyal and new supporters alike, the importance of giving back. Traditionally, United Way hosts a breakfast event where we announce the community campaign goal, campaign champions, reveal the campaign video, tout Day of Caring sponsors, projects and volunteers.

Health is one of United Way's three areas of focus (along with education and financial stability) so our number one priority is the safety and well-being of our team, volunteers, partners and the communities in which we live and work - especially the families we fight for every day. Our board of directors and team continue to assess the ever-changing situation with the pandemic, remaining vigilant, and following guidance from the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and Rock County Public Health Department.

Please stay tuned to our website and social media channels for upcoming changes to the traditional format of the breakfast. We appreciate your understanding!

21 Week Equity Challenge
United Way's 21 Week Equity Challenge is an opportunity to develop a deeper understanding of how inequity and racism affect our lives and communities.

Starting August 30, you’ll receive a weekly email intended to take you through a journey to deepen understanding of inequity and racism, suggest ways to take action, and help launch what we hope will be a lifelong commitment to improving equity and inclusion in our communities. Individuals are encouraged to form groups for discussion and reflection, or take the challenge as an individual learning opportunity.
