The end of the year is almost here, and as members of your community are celebrating the holidays, they are also thinking about their year-end donations.

Have you experienced a loss in your donor base? Do you feel like you need to better connect with your donors and community members?

Is your United Way sharing stories on your website? If so, are they stories about your United Way or your partner agencies?

My family and I volunteered for Habitat for Humanity of Kent County this fall in memory of my aunt Peg who passed away from cancer earlier this year.

A donation has been made in your honor this Mother’s Day to help Bay Area mothers living in poverty provide for their families. We are touched by this generosity and hope you are, too. On behalf of the community we serve, thank you and Happy Mother’s Day.
