Help Your Neighbors Affected by the Government Shutdown

|

The ongoing federal government shutdown is affecting  thousands of workers in central Ohio and will soon affect programs like SNAP that help families meet their basic needs.  To support our friends and neighbors who need immediate assistance, United Way of Central Ohio has launched an Emergency Assistance Fund.

100% of your gift to the Emergency Assistance Fund will go to our nonprofit partners  who have been most impacted by the shutdown and who provide basic needs to workers in our community.

Click on our DONATE button at the top right of the page and be sure to type Emergency Fund in the note line on the donation form.
