Join United Way’s Campaign for the Common Good United Way
It is that time of year again when the United Way pledge cards make their way into our office or school. The current campaign theme is Live United and encompasses education, health and wellness, and financial stability components. Donations collected benefit organizations trying to do something to help others in our community.
United Way's educational component is trying to raise consciousness about the need to increase the graduation rate in our nation's schools. Schools alone can't overcome the seductive power popular culture has over our young people or the apathy pervasive in many homes. The educational process requires superhuman capabilities these days. It also requires the cooperation of the whole community and the faith that education can make a difference in a person's life.
