The annual LLCC campaign through United Way begins TODAY and continues through Nov. 6. Please see the letter in your campus mailbox and consider a payroll deduction or cash/check/credit card gift to help those in need in our community.

Your support is needed now more than ever, as the state budget impasse is affecting many individuals served by social service agencies, like Antonio Ramirez, 94, a U.S. Army veteran who relies on meals from Senior Services of Central Illinois, a United Way agency.

Your undesignated gift funds programs in Central Illinois addressing the greatest need. Or, you may designate your gift to one or more qualified 501(c)3 agencies in any location.

All donors get a swag bag of three gifts (courtesy of LLCC Student United Way) and chances to win a gift basket! Make your gift today!
