Dear Neighbor,
|
I would like to thank all of you who support our organization
year after year. We wouldn't have the impact on our community that
we have without your continued support. I would also like to
encourage those of you who aren't as familiar with the work we do to
check out our website and
talk to one of our volunteers about the Community of Care that we
are all so invested in. Through your single
contribution to the ABUW, you have the power to improve people's
lives and strengthen our community. During this challenging economy
causing so many to struggle, I hope I can count on your generous
support. Jane Boatright President Acton-Boxborough
United Way |
Fall Campaign is
Underway!
|
The
Acton-Boxborough United Way plays a critical role in our local
community by helping those in need - from infants to teens to the
elderly.
The fall ABUW campaign allows our organization the
capacity to support many local agencies who directly impact you and
your neighbors. These agencies have been hit hard by cutbacks and
financial challenges as have the individuals they support. The
results are increased demands for services from more limited
resources. The realities are more people needing safety net basics
such as utilities, support for housing and food, counseling and
mental health and abuse services.
Caring for our neighbors is
what the A BUW is all about. This past year alone, the
ABUW awarded grants to 24 different
health and human service organizations serving the needs of
Acton and Boxborough residents - from infants to teens to
elders - as part of the Community of
Care.
Please consider making a donation
today to the ABUW. Your donation will help improve the lives
of those in your own local community. Together we will be a
stronger, more vibrant Acton and
Boxborough! |
