A MESSAGE FROM THE
2016 CAMPAIGN CHAIR
Dear Friend,
The United Way of Monongalia and Preston Counties plays a vital role in creating positive change
within our communities. Stronger communities, stable families and thriving children all have one
thing in common: You. Whether you donate time or money, advancing the common good requires all
of us working together and Living United.
Your support is critical to achieving our community goal of $1,540,000. Our United Way campaign
provides funding to support 49 programs at 27 health and human service agencies throughout
Monongalia and Preston counties. These agencies are working daily to address the growing
challenges faced by individuals and families. What this place needs is affordable healthcare,
educational opportunities, and assistance in a time of crisis. Theses partners and programs are
changing lives every day, but they can’t do it without our support.
I hope you will join us. No gift is too small. Every dollar raised stays right
here in Monongalia and Preston counties.
This place is a very special community to live and work and United Way is
working to create an even brighter future for all our neighbors.

WHY GIVE?
United Way is working to advance the common good by focusing on education, income, and health.
These are the building blocks for a good life – a quality education that leads to a stable job, enough
income to lead a successful life, and good health.
Our goal is to create long-lasting changes that prevent problems from happening in the first place, but
we can’t do it alone.
We invite you to be part of the change. Together, we can inspire hope and create opportunities for a
better tomorrow.
