So far, the campaign has raised $415,000 toward the goal of $500,000. Anita Carvajal, campaign chair, is reaching out to the community to help raise the remaining $85,000.<\/p>\n

\u201cOur community has individuals and families that go without proper food, nutrition and essential medical care every day due to a variety of factors including low wages, job loss, injuries, illness, domestic violence, or divorce,\u201d Carvajal said. \u201cWhile all of us are susceptible to hard times, children and the elderly are at the most risk, and they make up the largest number of clients we serve.\u201d<\/p>\n

During the month of June, the United Way of Van Wert County will be placing donation cans at local businesses in an effort to meet the needs of local agencies. Little is much. With support from the community, the United Way can reach more people and affect more lives.<\/p>\n

Donations may also be sent to: United Way of Van Wert County, 1151 Westwood Drive, Van Wert, OH 45891.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
