... A Message from the 2011 Campaign Chair for Capital Area United Way

Neighbors and friends,
 

"Neighbors Helping Neighbors." 

I seriously doubt that you would find a time or place where that phrase would be more evident than here in Central South Dakota this summer!
 

The events of this year will be talked about for years to come.  Friends, neighbors, co-workers and strangers worked together to save homes, businesses, and this community.  We sand bagged, we moved, we stayed up late and we made it through.
 

Thank you to every single person who helped and who will continue to help. Your dedication and example will not be forgotten.
 

Now, as we move forward as a united community, our Partner Agencies of the Capital Area United Way face new challenges.  Costs associated with the flooding are more than just dollars and cents.  The impact on lives will become more visible in the next few weeks and months.  Let’s not forget that state and federal budget cuts also have had a major impact on many programs here.  United Way’s Partner Agencies are prepared to face all those challenges, but they need our help.
 

Please consider making a gift to this year’s campaign ― so United Way can continue to meet the needs served by Partner Agency programs.  Let’s continue to be...
 
“Neighbors Helping Neighbors!”
