2007 was a year of going places—both for United Way of Snohomish County and for the kids, the families and the communities we serve.
Laura went to preschool and found a United Way program that helped her go from being months behind to prepared to start school ready to succeed.
Joni went to United Way’s free tax preparation site and then drove to work in her own
car because she could finally
afford insurance with the earned
tax credit she got back.
Matt went to volunteer and then to work because a United Way grant to Work Opportunities helps disabled people like him live fuller, more productive lives.
The annual campaign raised over $10 million, thanks to generous individuals, companies and partners. More significantly, donations increased to the Local Community Fund—money that stays right here for grants to 93 human service programs and United Way initiatives that benefit the entire community.
Finally, United Way moved into the first building it has owned in 67 years of serving Snohomish County. Measured in miles, it was not far from where we were to our new home at 3120 McDougall Avenue in Everett. Measured by how much the community is already using this building and by how much more it will benefit over time—well, we have come a long way.
We are grateful that we never travel alone. None of these successes could have happened without supporters such as you.
On behalf of all those you have fed, sheltered, kept safe, encouraged, strengthened, cared for, comforted, and helped on their way through your contribution to United Way, thank you. Your gift matters to our kids, our families and our community.
