Online giving to United Way campaign is easy!

It’s quick and easy to make your donation online to LLCC’s United Way giving program. You can also text LLCCUNITED to 41444 or use the paper form and return it to your group representative listed below.

LLCC participates in the United Way giving program because we are a vital part of improving lives in our community. Your gift through payroll deduction spreads your donation out over 24 pay periods. So a little from each paycheck adds up to a big impact on the community services that help your friends and neighbors in need.

Among the top needs in our community served by United Way agencies are:

  • Basic needs: emergency food and shelter
  • Education: kindergarten readiness, on-time achievement, graduating with a plan
  • Financial stability: stable housing, work skills support, financial literacy
  • Health: access to healthcare, mental health services, health advocacy

Be a game changer! All donors get a free “jeans day” sticker and are entered into a drawing for gift cards on Professional Development Day.

Thank you!
