LIVE UNITED - Message from Donna Murphy, President, United Way Board of TrusteesIt convenes stakeholders to address problems or ideas that make our community stronger, such as the 2-1-1 Helpline, the annual Community Assessment Project, and Go for Health.
I am a donor to United Way because one gift can go so far and touch so many - more than 75,000 county residents last year. I also am president of the Board of Directors of United Way of Santa Cruz County this year - so I see first-hand that the work of this organization is guided by people who live and work here. Every dollar stays local in the county to help its citizens, neighbors and friends.
Last year, despite the amazingly challenging economic times on campus and in the state, 240 faculty and staff members made gifts to United Way. I hope you will do so again this year. It is easy and it is meaningful. Whether you give a little each pay period or a single gift, you will be helping young and old and people like you and me who never expected to need help but unexpectedly do. Our gifts create that helping hand when people don't know where to go or what to do.
