United Way of Wapello County supporters will gather at Quincy Place Mall on Wednesday, September 8 to officially kickoff the 2010 Community Giving Campaign during the 11th Annual Day of Caring. Over 125 volunteers will spend the day volunteering at area non-profit organizations and learning about the important work being done in Wapello County. Volunteers and other supporters will be treated to a complimentary pancake breakfast prepared by the Ottumwa Noon Kiwanis and sack lunch provided by area businesses. United Way works year-round to strengthen our communities and provide support for 15 Community Impact Partner Organizations and programs that will have the greatest impact on the lives of people in Wapello County. United Way of Wapello County is working to Advance the Common Good by creating opportunities for a better quality of life for all by focusing on EDUCATION, INCOME AND HEALTH. Education is essential to getting and keeping a job with a livable wage and health benefits. An income adequate to pay for today’s necessities and save for the future provides families some sense of financial stability. Access to quality health care keeps children on track in school and adults productive at work. Remove any one of these building blocks and the other two topple. Working with many partners in our community, United Way of Wapello County’s goal is to create long-lasting changes that prevent problems from happening in the first place. We invite you to be part of the change. Together, united, we can inspire hope and create opportunities for a better tomorrow. That’s what it means to LIVE UNITED.
