There’s still time to support United Way campaign
With just one day to go in Penn State Health and the College of Medicine’s 2021 United Way campaign, employees have pledged or donated $430,353 or 98.9% of the goal. If you haven’t had an opportunity to give yet, there’s still time. The campaign ends Friday, Nov. 19.
Your donation to United Way makes a real difference in people’s lives. More than 95% of the funds United Way raises goes to local programs and services:
- Contact to Care helps people access health care services that not only improve the quality of their lives, but save them.
- Workforce Development lifts people out of poverty by guiding them to living-wage jobs.
- Ready for School, Ready to Succeed prepares children for kindergarten and a lifetime of learning.
- Basic Needs helps vulnerable individuals and families get hot meals and a warm place to sleep.
