Local individuals, companies and organizations have two weeks left to help make a major difference in the lives of children and families in Northern Kentucky.
“Everyone in the community, no matter the size of their gifts, has an opportunity to help us reach a result that celebrates United Way’s Centennial year and raises additional resources to help achieve the Bold Goals for Our Region in education, income and health,” says Carri Chandler, assistant manager, external affairs, Toyota Motor Engineering & Manufacturing North America, Inc., chair of the campaign in Northern Kentucky.
Individuals who would like to contribute and aren’t part of a campaign at their workplace can make a gift to United Way at www.uwgc.org/donate.
