It is an honor and privilege to lead an organization that re-shapes and betters our community each and every day. Orange County United Way is dedicated to improving lives and joining with organizations that truly make a difference. We’re so thankful for you, our partner; we couldn’t do it without you.
Even with our successes, this year has proven to be one of the most difficult and challenging times that our community has ever faced. More families and individuals are requesting services for the first time in their lives. Though times seem grim, there is a hope that lies with you and me. Now, more than ever before, a simple gift can make a huge impact and strengthen our community.
You can be the hope for a struggling individual. You can provide shelter to a family who has lost their home; help a child exceed in school by assuring they don’t go to school hungry, or improve someone’s future through job training, leading them to self-sufficient living. Your gifts will make life a little easier for someone who needs a hand up.
As our 2009 campaign season nears an end, now is the time to make an impact and continue supporting an organization that maximizes your charitable giving, and creates the most impact throughout Orange County. Together we can change lives – join us.
Most Sincerely,
Maria Chavez Wilcox
