United Way continues to champion its mission of addressing critical community issues—from food insecurity and generational poverty to domestic violence and substance abuse—by emphasizing the power of workplace giving campaigns.
Last year alone, United Way programs touched the lives of over 32,000 individuals across the North Country, providing vital support to families and individuals in need. Workplace campaigns play a crucial role in making this impact possible. By enabling employees to contribute through payroll deduction, businesses provide their teams with a meaningful way to give back while fostering morale and building team spirit.
“We are so grateful for the employers who offer their staff the opportunity to support their community through workplace campaigns,” said Dawn Cole, President and CEO of UWNNY. “These campaigns are the cornerstone of our ability to address the most pressing challenges in our region.”
Natalie Burnham, Chief of Behavioral Health and United Way Campaign Coordinator at Thrive Wellness and Recovery, echoes this sentiment. “Leading a workplace campaign is not just about giving back—it’s an incredible opportunity for rising professionals to shine, build confidence, and make a tangible difference in their community,” said Burnham.
For those employers who conduct a workplace campaign before the end March 31, United Way is offering a special incentive. Qualifying workplace donors will be entered into a prize drawing for a beautiful living room set, generously donated by Massey’s Furniture Barn.
For more information about how to start a workplace campaign, contribute to United Way, or learn about the furniture prize incentive, call (315) 788-5631. For those who do not have access to a workplace campaign, donations can still be made directly to United Way, ensuring everyone has the opportunity to make an impact and help build a better tomorrow.
