Your contributions to United Way help give youth the
opportunity to visit local businesses to learn more about their career
options.

We hope you'll consider making a contribution to United Way
this year. Each gift improves lives in the Marshfield area--and for
just $5 a week, you can feed a family of four for six days. That's a
huge impact!
10 Reasons to GIVE UNITED:
- Money is
raised locally and provides vital funding for 37
local programs that work to advance the common good in the
Marshfield area.
-
It's easy
to give - write a check, use payroll
deduction, or use your credit card.
-
More Bang for your Buck! One gift serves many needs. It's the
only contribution you can make that will help address critical issues in
education, income and health our residents face every day.
- Gifts are
tax-deductible. You'll thank us on April 15. Really!
- Your
contribution helps those who need help the most... kids,
seniors, the disabled, individuals in crisis, struggling families,
abused women and children and many others including average,
middle-income families.
- Our United
Way ensures that programs are accountable to the
community.
-
Your money, your way! You can direct your dollars to an issue, program
or another town. You can also join the volunteers who decide
program funding each spring.
- Because we
make a living by what we get, but we make a life
by what we give.
-
It Won't Break Your Bank! You might be wondering "How much
should I give?" You would be amazed at how giving up a soda and a
candy bar a week over a year can really make a big difference in
someone's life. Dollars add up to make real change!
-
Because once upon a time, someone helped you.

Coordinator or Human Resources, visit our Web site or call 384-9992.
