Your gift to United Way helps families when they need it most

“While volunteering at the St. John’s Breadline, I had the heart-wrenching experience of having one of my students come through the line with their family. I had no idea that their family was facing these challenges … I was thankful that because of United Way, programs such as the breadline were available in our community.” Read more from Terrance Jordan, District 186 administrator and local United Way Co-Chair.
