Be the one …

Who lends a helping hand.
Who mentors a child.
Who serves a meal to a family.
Who makes an impact by donating to United Way.

Today LLCC launches its annual United Way Campaign. As President Charlotte Warren wrote in her email last Thursday, the campaign closely aligns with the values of LLCC, working to provide basic needs, education, financial stability and health to every person in our community.

An undesignated gift to United Way will be spread among 26 local social service agencies, with allocations determined by a panel of local individuals. You may also choose to designate your gift to one or more specific charities.

Donate via payroll deduction or make an outright gift. You’ll receive a jeans day sticker and be put in a drawing for gift cards.

Learn more and donate on the LLCC United Way donation page.

The United Way Committee thanks all of the everyday heroes who donated to the LLCC campaign this year. It’s not too late to join them! To donate, please click here.

“This year more than ever, there are so many people out there who need help in our community …” “I give … because frankly, someone else needs it more than I do …” In this video, four more of your LLCC colleagues tell why they give to United Way. The LLCC United Way campaign continues through Nov. 6. Please consider a gift to help those in need in our community. To donate, please click here.

By giving to the United Way of Central Illinois, you become an everyday hero, supporting programs that address basic needs, education, financial stability and health. Your generosity helps make our region a better place and often supports our own LLCC students.

To donate, please click here. You may give via credit or debit card, cash or check, or payroll deduction, and designate where your gift goes, or make an undesignated gift that supports multiple programs. You’ll receive a jeans day sticker as a thank-you, and be placed in a drawing for gift cards.

Thank you!
