Raising Spirits with Fewer Trimmings

Main Content

During the holidays last year, Americans spent an average of $730 on gifts, food, decorations, and more. For thousands in our region living paycheck to paycheck, these expenses can be overwhelming and sometimes out of reach. By working together, however, we can help make the season brighter for everyone in our community.

Volunteering with family, coworkers, or friends is a meaningful way to spend time together around the holidays. Instead of the typical office gift exchange, why not donate a gift to a child in need, or cook and serve a holiday meal at a local nonprofit?

Through our Season of Caring, United Way can provide connections to organizations throughout the region that need help collecting donated items or other volunteer duties.
