United Way sets
record goal
United Way of Metropolitan
Atlanta, which includes Fayette County, launched this year’s campaign
with a record goal of $82.5 million.
The campaign theme, “A New U,” centers on how a new United Way
helps the community invest in solutions to the issues citizens care about
most.
“When a donor gives to United Way, he or she does so much more than
support one charity or cause. This campaign is about a community pulling
together resources to meet a common goal,” said United way president
Mark O’ Connell.
According to O’Connell, United Way has a plan in place, with measurable
strategies for addressing the root causes of crime, breaking the cycle
of violence and working to ensure basic human needs are met.
The community plan focuses United Way investments in five key areas: nurturing
children and youth, strengthening families, increasing economic self-sufficiency,
encouraging citizen involvement and meeting basic needs.
