If you have children, they can participate in programs provided by at least nine of the agencies. If you don't have kids, you still benefit. When young people are involved in wholesome activities, they won't be out doing drugs or vandalizing your house or stealing your car. When you've been in an accident and several pints of blood are all that stand between you and death, you'll be glad a United Fund agency conducts blood drives. Or when someone you love is in a fire, tornado or other disaster, you'll learn first-hand how local agencies rush to your side with emergency relief.
Some people have physical or mental problems that limit their ability to help themselves.
When you support your United Fund, you enable local agencies to respond to their needs so they can live a better life.
