Make a Difference this holiday season.
Give to United Way of Mahaska County.

During the holidays, we’re reminded to give thanks for what we have and to share with those less fortunate than ourselves.  A simple way to give back to our community all year long is through a gift to the United Way.

United Way of Mahaska County and partner organizations have significant impact in our community; however, the needs continue to be challenging.  This is the exact reason that charitable giving by each of us, based on our ability, is so vital.  The money raised by the United Way of Mahaska County stays here to benefit local organizations, both large and small!

If you are blessed enough to be able to share a bit of what you have, we hope that you will do so by making a donation to the United Way.  You can do this through a modest payroll deduction if you’re at a participating workplace.  You can also make a contribution directly to the United Way at 500 High Avenue West, Oskaloosa, IA 52577, or online at www.unitedwaymahaska.org by clicking on “Give”

United Way gives us all the ability to pool our contributions so that they have a huge local impact.  As we go into our final weeks of this year’s campaign and are just short of our $375,000 goal, I invite you to unite with others in our community, for the common good of Mahaska County.

Don’t Just Wear the Shirt. . .LIVE UNITED.

Sincerely,

Christy Bellinger
Executive Director
United Way of Mahaska County
