United
Way’s Live United Campaign Runs September 17- November 15
With gas
prices soaring, grocery costs increasing, and the housing market
in decline United Way was concerned on how to set a realistic
campaign goal this year. Even in tough times, United Way’s new
LIVE UNITED campaign makes it easy for everyone to get
involved-by giving, advocating or volunteering.
LIVE
UNITED
A credo.
A mission. A goal.
A
constant reminder that when we as individuals think outside
ourselves, we have the power to facilitate change. When we think
of others’ lives as linked to our own, our compassion grows.
When we reach out a hand to one we influence the condition of
all. We build the strength of our neighborhoods. We bolster the
health of our communities. And we change the lives of those who
walk by us every day.
TO
GIVE. TO ADVOCATE. TO VOLUNTEER.
Because
united we stand. United, we elevate. United, we persevere.
United, we move through. Above. And beyond. United, we change
what we see in the world. The Live United campaign is about the
power of unity.
We ask
that all of you be part of the movement to advance the common
good right here in Island County. Because united we change what
we see in our community.
