"Our
mission is to improve lives by mobilizing the caring power
of the community."
Dear
Friends,
We
at United Way of Merced County are extremely excited to
share with you the wonderful work that is being done within
our County as neighbors help neighbors in building our
community.
United
Way volunteers are constantly looking at programs and
services designed to make positive changes in our community.
As community priorities change, United Way of Merced County
changes to meet those issues. The one constant in
this white water of change is the need to have a successful
annual campaign to address and support those community
challenges.
United
Way of Merced County with community involvement of our
Funding Committees is helping to create a focused agenda,
investing in strategies and agencies that are showing
results and getting out of those that do not. We provide
investment options that are issue-oriented. While providing
maintenance for those in personal crisis, our focus will
be on:
1. Education (pre-school and curriculum development),
2. Financial Stability/Economic Development (Earned Income
Tax Credit, Financial Training,
Job Training, and Economic Development)
3. Health initiatives (Obesity, diabetes and nutrition)
We
invite each of you individuals and organizations to become
part of the living vision of Community Building that United
Way of Merced County is participating in. By focusing
on a few priorities, establishing common goals and pooling
resources, there is no limit to the positive, transformative
changes that we can bring about in the community in which
we live, work and raise our families!
I
invite you to explore our website and learn more about
this transition. Thank you for your continued support
of United Way and our community.
Sincerely,
Flip
Hassett
Executive Director
United Way of Merced County
