Thank you

The generosity of the Rock River Valley has been humbling during these strange and difficult times. We'd like to recognize every person, company, and organization who has given to our COVID-19 Emerging Needs Fund.

We asked. You answered. And $1 million was raised. We’re not surprised, it’s been that way since United Way was established 100 years ago. Now, more than ever, the needs are great, and your generosity ensures that we can support agencies providing food, child care, rent and utility assistance, personal protection equipment, and so much more. The COVID-19 pandemic will pass, but we will never forget the giving spirit of our community.

To each and every one of you, thank you!
