Dear Neighbor,
COUNTY-WIDE IMPACT
In 2014, United Way of Rutland County will provide funding for
32 health and human service organizations that last year alone
served more than 25,000 people throughout our local region.
When you give through United Way, your dollars stay right here
in our community to improve the lives of our Rutland County
residents. Every dollar is joined together to sustain services to
address critical issues and help those in need.
United Way takes great pride in serving Rutland County as
a leader of social change. We value the strong relationships
that we have above all else. We see first -hand, every single
day, year in and year out, that united together, we are up for
any challenge.
United Way of Rutland County works together with people
from across our communities – businesses, local government,
faith groups, civic organizations, non-profits and local
residents to address critical issues, sustain services and
help those in need.
United Way exemplifies the collective power of partnerships and
people giving with compassion and care for our common good.
With your help, we can insure that our children, youth and
young adults achieve their greatest potential, individuals and
families can meet their basic needs and become financially
stable, and everyone in our community has the opportunity for
improved health and well-being.

Invest in your community.
Champion the cause.
Sincerely,
Building blocks for a better life:
