Stay Involved All Year!

United Way makes it easy to stay involved all year round with community events as well as special events you can do right in your office!

Eat Out for What Matters

Treat yourself to a fantastic meal at one of the caring restaurants that participate and they will make a donation to United Way to help our local children and families in crisis. Check back next October to see what local restaurants are participating! Give your favorite restaurant a Registration Form so they can get involved!

Books Are Fun Book Sale

United Way can help you coordinate a Books Are Fun Book Sale right at your company site. The sale offers books & gifts up to 70% off and a portion of proceeds to benefit United Way. You don't need to do anything - someone comes to set-up and close down. Email to check dates and availability.
