Why:                About the United Way

The goal of the United Way is to advance the common good, creating opportunities for a better life for all, by focusing on the three key building blocks of education, income and health. The United Way movement creates long lasting community change by addressing the underlying causes of problems that prevent progress in these areas. LIVE UNITED is a call to action for everyone to become a part of the change.

Shoppers who donate will be entered to win one $500 gift card (one entry for every five donated items).
