The site includes information on United Way agencies and the following explanation of why campaign donations are so powerful. The United Way pools contributions. This lets our community effectively plan and support a continuum of human services that makes Douglas County a better place to live. This is a wonderful surprise. Then the agency can plan its budget and services.
Gifts are much more powerful when they are combined than when they are received separately.
That added value is the United Way difference. The quality of life we all enjoy in Douglas County depends partially on those in need finding the help they require. Giving to United Way helps keep our community strong. You may have used the services of a United Way agency and not realized it. Also, no one is immune to unexpected health problems or emergencies.
