Share Your Story: How Has United Way Touched Your Life?

This week, we’re sharing impact. We want you to know what a difference you have made in Battle Creek and Kalamazoo with your dollars, your support, your volunteerism, and your advocacy.

We’ve shared some results in Income, Health, Education and Basic Needs, and we’ve shared just a few stories from people who have been personally touched.

We’ve learned why Amanda continues to donate her family’s coats and other clothing.

We’ve heard how Merilan’s English classes have helped her find her voice.

We’ve learned how Erica’s work is helping to address trauma in schools.

We’ve heard about Tristen’s plans to become a nurse.

Now, we want to hear from YOU. Have you or a family member benefited from a United Way program? Did you have an amazing volunteer experience or were you moved by a story you heard during Pop Up Giving?

However you’ve experienced United Way, we want to hear about it!
