Libraries United Way Campaign – Week 4 Update

THANK YOU to those who have already logged into the MU United Way Giving Portal  (unitedway.missouri.edu) to acknowledge your plan to ‘give’ or ‘not to participate’. 

Either determination is important, so please ‘participate’ by at least logging in and selecting your ‘Pledge Option’ which will allow us to know that you have received the United Way message. When you ‘participate’ you will be entered in the daily drawing for one of the “30 for 30 Prizes” sponsored by the University.

Reminder: Beginning this Friday, the Libraries will be sponsoring a weekly drawing (for the next 5 weeks) of $10 gift cards to all library employees who participate in the United Way campaign by logging on to their website and completing the pledge process. Thanks again to MULSA who generously donated the money to purchase these gift cards.

Week 4:   I’m pleased to announce that, as of October 3, the Libraries has a 19.83% participation rate and has raised $3,747.00 for the United Way so far!

THANK YOU! From all those who will benefit from your generosity in our community.

Heart of Missouri United Way Community has implemented the Community Impact service model in order to make a positive, lasting difference in the lives of the mid-Missouri people it serves. Rather than just alleviate its symptoms, Community Impact examines and addresses the root causes of poverty to bring about measurable and lasting change by focusing on Education, Income, Health and Safety Net Services.

Heart of Missouri United Way addresses the four key targets that contribute to poverty:

  • lack of access to education,
  • health,
  • income and
  • safety net services.

This approach is known as the community impact model.
