The 2013-14 United Fund campaign needs your support! It’s a chance to reach out a helping hand to meet the community’s underfunded human services needs. Any gift, large or small, helps right here in Talbot County. “Donor support provides essential funding for the 20 United Fund partner agencies, helping them ensure programs and services are available to needy local individuals and families,” Executive Director, Ann Jacobs, explained.
Agencies like the St. Michaels Community Center that has become an integral piece of the fabric of the Bay Hundred area. Their programs for children and teens, services to senior citizens and activities for the community continue to thrive and grow, largely in part thanks to the support of the United Fund. And without the strong and consistent support from the United Fund, the Neighborhood Service Center would not be able to offer such a diverse number of services such as their Holiday food baskets, seasonal back-to-school and coat drives, an after-school and summer program for youth in kindergarten thru eighth grades, and their on-going food pantry, and the only year-round homeless shelter in Talbot County.
There are only four months remaining in the 2013-14 campaign, and while support has been strong, donations are $60,000 short of the $400,000 annual goal. Please help the United Fund and its participating agencies by mailing your contribution now to United Fund of Talbot County, P.O. Box 741, Easton, MD 21601 or making a secure on-line donation at www.unitedfund.org.
