CLAMA HON
United Way is the premier, federated organization which increases the
organized capacity of Tri -State residents to care for one another, raise
funds for the communities' needs and allocate to those needs; and
all residents of the Tri -State Community greatly benefit from the programs
and services funded by United Way agencies serving our community; and
through a judicious study of human -care needs, it has been determined
that $1,925,000 is needed to cover the more pressing community services
of health and welfare agencies and special projects for the coming year;
and
giving to these multiple causes through the medium of the United Way is a
democratic, humanitarian, accountable and efficient way of meeting these
community obligations; and
United Way of Dubuque Area Tri- States now conducts year -round
campaigning with the 2012 -2013 Campaign officially starting in September
2012.
