United For Families update

Payroll deduction prize draws Feb. 12

For a variety of reasons, including H1N1, this season’s United Way campaign committee has been struggling to reach the $80,000 goal. At press time, about 80% of the goal had been reached. The campaign is running until Feb. 12, giving staff time to get your name in the exciting United Way payroll deduction draws, taking place the last day of the campaign.

Payroll deduction is a lasting way to help support more than 100 social service agencies doing valuable work in our communities through United Way. Fill out your pledge form today. If you’re a current donor, your payroll deduction will automatically carry forward this year. If you’re not a current donor, make 2010 your year to make a difference.

It’s easy to give just $3 per pay which totals $78 per year. Go online to the United Way site on source•net to print and fill in a form, or go to the United Way display at your site cafeteria to pick up a form (OSS-coffee shop, NOTL-site admin). Once it’s filled in, send it to Payroll at OSS.

One-time donations are also welcome. This could be $10 or $1,000 and last year, about 45 staff chose to give this way. Staff members are urged to consider a one-time gift if an ongoing commitment is out of reach. Simply fill in a form and send it to Payroll at OSS.
