United Way of South Wood & Adams Counties recently announced it will distribute $442,381 in south Wood County and $37,500 in Adams County, for a total of $479,881, pending a successful fall campaign.
Earlier this year, United Way accepted funding applications for programs that address “Education” and “Health.” These programs will receive two year grants for 2022 and 2023. “Financial Stability” and “Safety Net Service” programs are currently funded through 2022 and will be able to apply in 2022 for 2023-2024 funding.
“We’ve made these promises to our partner programs, now we need the community to help us deliver,” said Tari Jahns, CEO. “The dollars we allocate to these programs come from our annual community campaign. That is why it’s important we have a successful campaign, to help fill these needs.”
