"Our
mission is to improve lives by mobilizing the
caring power of the community."
Dear
Friends,
We
at United Way of Merced County are extremely excited
to share with you the wonderful work that is being
done within our County as neighbors help neighbors
in building our community.
United
Way volunteers are constantly looking at programs
and services designed to make positive changes
in our community. As community priorities
change, United Way of Merced County changes to
meet those issues. The one constant in this
white water of change is the need to have a successful
annual campaign to address and support those community
challenges.
More
than ever before it has become apparent that to
really make a difference in our communities we
need to look at two very specific supportive program
structures:
1. Programs that provide a safety net for
individuals and families in crisis
2. Programs that will enable individuals
and families to become self-sufficient
We
invite each of you – individuals and organizations
– to become part of the living vision of
Community Building that United Way of Merced County
is participating in. By focusing on a few
priorities, establishing common goals and pooling
resources, there is no limit to the positive,
transformative changes that we can bring about
in the community in which we live, work and raise
our families!
I
invite you to explore our website and learn more
about this transition. Thank you for your
continued support of United Way and our community.
Sincerely,
Flip
Hassett
Executive Director
United Way of Merced County
