"United
Way dollars provide for Family Services the ability to never turn
anyone away for services regardless of their ability to pay."
- Bonnie Parish, Executive Director, Family Services
“The
support from United Way assists in putting the smiles on the faces of
our Dayton wish children and allows dreams to come true.”
- Development Coordinator, A Special Wish Foundation, Inc.
“Last
year, St. Vincent de Paul served over 75,000 people in our community
... When you give to our community’s United Way, you support local
United Way Partner Agencies like us and fund important community
resources.”
- Leigh Sempeles, Esq., Executive Director, St. Vincent de Paul Dayton
“United Way funding is crucial to our mission and to delivering the services our aging need.”
- Judy Baker, Executive Director Xenia Adult Recreation and Services Center
The
above quotes come from United Way of the Greater Dayton Area partner
agencies. As you can see, these 70+ organizations rely on
us for consistent financial support, referrals via our HelpLink 2-1-1
and volunteers from our Volunteer Connection. These partners are
serving more and more people – over 260,000 last year -- with fewer
resources. In short, the need is greater than ever, so your help is needed more than ever.
I invite you to view our list of partners
and learn about the valuable contributions they make to our community
and our neighbors in Montgomery, Greene, and Preble counties.
United Way supports services that can touch us all from scouting to
hospice or respite care and supports services for our neighbors most in
need from emergency food and shelter to protection from abuse and
neglect.
In this season of giving, we ask that you join United Way in Reinventing Hope for our region.
Please give as generously as you can. Thank you.
Allen H. Elijah
President and CEO
