June is LIVE UNITED month, and you can LIVE UNITED by giving, advocating and volunteering in your community with United Way! Next month, people will come together to make change for everyone, something that is especially important during this economic time.
Here’s how you can give, advocate and volunteer to make a difference:
Give. Give $5 to families in crisis through the United Way Give5Here campaign by visiting give5here.org. Your gift to Give5Here will bring critical help to people in the areas of our region with the greatest needs. All new dollars will be matched by the Chicago Community Trust up to $500,000.
Advocate. Email liveunited@uw-mc.org to sign up for United Way advocacy alerts so that you can contact your congressman about issues that impact our community. Become a fan of our cause on Facebook by searching for United Way of Metropolitan Chicago.
Volunteer. Visit volunteersolutions.org or email gsims@uw-mc.org to lend a hand to advance the common good. A special volunteer opportunity will be available for Leadership Givers on June 13; email bkaplinsky@uw-mc.org to sign up.
