The ripple effects of the COVID-19 pandemic are still being felt today. Locally, thanks to the generous donations of supporters over the past several years, United Way was able to support local organizations by raising more than $1 million to go directly toward pandemic related assistance and support. If you've run Employee Giving Campaigns over the course of the pandemic, please share this sheet with your employees to show them the impact they've made.
