Community Feedback
United Way is the best way to give painlessly through payroll deduction. My small contribution each payday goes further through United Way than if I chose a few organizations to give to directly. - S.
I gave because I've been lucky. I have a job, a good life. There are so many people who need so much. If we all give a little it amounts to a lot. - P.
I wanted to share with United Way and give back to my community. - C.
I gave to United Way because I am blessed to have a loving family, good job, comfortable home, excellent health care and enough money to pay my bills. Many are not as fortunate and I give because I care! - D.
I gave today to help those who are homeless and in need of food. I have so much and feel it's the least I can do for my community. -A.
I gave because I am fortunate -- have a good paying job, home, etc. -- but I know that a lot of people need help. Giving just a few dollars out of each pay will not hurt me. Imagine if everyone did that? Even $5.00 a pay!
I gave because of the variety of services that are benefitted by my donation.
I gave because I believe in United Way of Central Maryland. When I give, it allows United Way to serve as my hands and feet when I cannot "physically" do what my heart encourages me to do in my community. - Lydia
