TRI-CITY AREA UNTED WAY PARTICIPATES IN THE NATIONWIDE DAY OF ACTION!!!
|
| On June 21 - the longest day of the year - United Ways across the country are participating in a Nationwide Day of Action. With more daylight hours than any other, June 21 is the perfect day to let your actions speak louder than words. It's the perfect way to show, by example, what it means to LIVE UNITED.
Tri-City Area United Way participation in the nationwide Day of Action started on April 1st, challenging the tri-county area to volunteer 6219 hours by June 21, 2009, the United Way of America Day of Action. Not one did we make the challenge but we past it up by volunteering over 12000 hours!!!!! Fast Facts: The estimated dollar value of one hour of volunteer time for 2008 is $20.25. That would mean the the tri-county area volunteer dollar value would be over $243,000.00. We are definitely proud here at the Tri-City Area United Way in the way our community responded to this challenge. It takes everyone in the community working together to create a brighter future.

Welcome to the Tri-City Area United Way |
|
Tri-City Area United Way understands that you really want to make a difference right here in the Marinette, Menominee, Oconto Tri-City Area.
We want to help you do that.
Our experience tells us that the best way to help the most people is to focus on the underlying causes of the most serious problems. Advancing the Common good by focusing on Education, Income and Health. Education to get a stable job, income to take care of your family until retirement and good health.
It takes the whole community working together to reach our goals in these areas. So we bring together people from all across the community - people from government, business, faith groups, non-profits, and ordinary citizens. If it requires fundraising, going to City Hall or just getting people to work together, that's what we do.
Your United Way contribution goes to work bringing lasting change, right where you live. Because that's what matters.
