The campaign goal is $500,000 and was established by 2020-21 Campaign Chair Kim Bruns. The United Way knows there are many people who have been affected by the Covid-19 pandemic, with loss of jobs, lack of food, kids needing extra educational support, and the organization wants them to know that it is #AlwaysUnited and there for them.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The United Way has been leading the way with its programs and agencies, which have supported the hard times, and it is going to need every donation this year to be able to continue to support its 34 agencies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The money that people give stays in Van Wert County and supports the 34 agencies funded by the United Way. The organization pays out less than 1 percent in United Way worldwide dues, so donors can rest assured their contribution is impacting Van Wert County United Way agencies. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
