NORWICH – The Chenango United Way increased the annual capital campaign goal by $6,000 in hopes of better meeting community needs.
In September, the United Way announced it would be seeking $425,000 in donations for 2019, which is a $6000 more than 2018 when the group aimed to raised $419,000.
“There's so much need in the community, and were trying to meet that need,” said United Way Executive Director Elizabeth Monaco. “Currently we've raised $81,623, but most of our larger donations come in towards the end of the year.”
The Chenango United Way funds 27 local programs. The funded programs fall under four categories education, financial stability, health, and other impact efforts. According to Monaco the programs being funded are the ones that will make the most impact. “We're funding programs that bring people together to solve a community issue.”
