UnitedwaylogoJamestown (CSi) The Jamestown/Stutsman United Way Campaign is looking to wrap up receiving donations, through February this year.
 

On Tuesday’s Wayne Byers Show on CSi Cable 2 United Way Vice President, Megan Aldinger said the campaign kicked-off event of prom in September and the bake sale in October, with great success.

 

The United Way continues collect packets and donations through February.

 

She said the campaign is a little behind the donations in comparison to the donations we received the year before so they’re hoping to collect donations in the next month to meet our goal.

 

This year the board set an ambitious goal of $200,000, the same as last year, with an increase in need in the community over the last few years, but they’ve also seen an increase in donations, and they’re hopeful that the community will come together again to help meet the needs in Jamestown.

 

The Jamestown/Stutsman campaign serves  22 agencies, including the local Red Cross, local Girl Scout and Boy Scouts, the Arts Center, RSVP +, Senior Companion Program, Service Dogs of America, James River Transit, and the YMCA.

 

Ms. Aldinger pointed out that a donation to the United Way helps young and old alike, and added that 99% of donations stays local.

 

You can make a donation through employers by either making a one-time donation out of our check or having a certain number of dollars come out of each check. That is how United Way raises the most money.

 

She said the United Way is thankful to their biggest donors who make all the difference such as, Newman Signs, Cavendish, Cargill, UTC Aerospace Systems, Noridian, Jamestown Regional Medical Center, and many others. Their generous support really makes a difference in the community.
