Lackawanna County issued the following announcement on Nov. 4.
Dear Lackawanna County residents:
The Fall season ushers in the kick-off of the annual United Way campaign in our community. The drive represents a perfect opportunity for everyone to help our neighbors in need by helping to fund a wide range of services, activities, and programs.
For a century the United Way has worked with County government to meet the challenges facing our community. The pandemic has presented us with a unique and unexpected circumstances which impact every household and person living in our county.
A contribution to the United Way Campaign helps support and further the work being done by agencies and our county departments to improve the quality of life for all citizens. The scope of their work directly contributes to the benefit of programs for Survivors of Domestic Violence, Child Care Programs, Youth Programs, Early Reading Programs, Meals for Older Adults, Tax Preparation Assistance, APPRISE Insurance Counseling, Rent and Utility Assistance, Emergency Services, Shelters, and countless others. Your gift to the United Way of Lackawanna and Wayne Counties will provide valuable financial resources to agencies such as the American Red Cross, ARC, Boys and Girls Clubs of NEPA, Meals on Wheels, St. Joseph’s Center and a number of other organizations that provide outstanding care and assistance in times of crisis.
The work being done at the United Way impacts our community by generating a meaningful change for the future. For those of us fortunate enough to be able to make a gift we can be assured whatever commitment that is made stays in our community. People can also support their favorite charity. By checking the box next to “Specific Care” and writing in the name of any 501(c)(3) agency.
Thank you for committing to help for your fellow Lackawanna County neighbors.
