However, payroll deduction through the United Way provides definite advantages. First, giving is made easier. All that is required is filling out a pledge form. In addition, payroll deduction spreads payment of the gift over the entire year, which often gives donors the ability to make a larger gift. Finally, a gift to the United Way through payroll deduction is a gift to 25 local agencies.
People give because they understand the needs.
United Way contributions stay right here in the Golden Triangle area to help twenty-four local health and human care providers serve local people in need. Your single contribution to United Way, when added to the gifts from hundreds of your neighbors, helps to resolve local problems such as domestic violence, children and adults with physical and mental challenges, alcohol and drug abuse, and homelessness. Your United Way of Beaumont is governed by a local volunteer board made up of your neighbors, representing a cross-section of the community. Volunteers also decide how much money each agency gets. Their job is to ensure that the needs of Beaumont and North Jefferson County are being met.
