United Way of Hardin County is calling out to the community for support.
United Way is at a critical time in the campaign for 2018 non profit agency funding and we call out to the Hardin County community to unite and support the 20 result - oriented programs, as they are vital to serving individual and family needs in a variety of areas including health care, children, youth, seniors, education and financial stability.
Of the campaign contributions received each year, only 1% of the funds collected are forwarded to The United Way World Wide, which leaves 99% of the dollars for local agency support, and conducting the campaign. The board of directors of United Way are all volunteer, and work diligently for the success of the campaign and are committed to the allocation of donations with discretion.
We sincerely thank our wonderful contributors to date! The campaign projections to date indicate to be only at 55% of the $220,000 projected goal that are needed to continue agency funding for 2018. So, If you do not have a plan in action yet for United Way support, please consider starting today!
