United Way of Mercer CountyWeek of Caring

September 7-11, 2009

Last year the United Way of Mercer County sponsored a day of caring in our community to kick off the 2008 annual campaign. Participants did different projects that benefited those of our community members who are in need. This year we are kicking off the 2009 annual campaign by extending the day of caring to a week long collection of items that focus on Education, Income and Health.

We are excited about this week long opportunity to collect items that will help many families. All we are asking of your organization is to get the word out about the items we are collecting and get all the donations that you can. The community food warehouse will provide your collection box on September 7, 2009 and pick it up on September 11, 2009.

We thank you for your support and willingness to participate in the week of caring and many individuals and families who will receive the items thank you too.

Attached is a list of the items that we are asking to be collected. If you have any questions or concerns please contact Laura Evans at the United Way of Mercer County office at 724-981-1884. Please fill out and return the participation form to the United Way of Mercer County, 300 West State Street, Sharon, PA 16146 no later than August 19th. We hope to be able to count on your participation this year. Thank you on behalf of all the United Way Agencies who are serving Mercer County.
