Workplace Campaign FAQs

The need for help is increasing. When people see friends, family, neighbors, and co-workers in need, they dig deeper into their limited resources to ensure the needs are met. Time and again, some of the most generous givers are those who have struggled themselves and needed a helping hand from our community. When we all come together to help, everyone benefits. Even if your employees don’t or can’t give, we want them to know about our services and programs so they can use them, too. 1 in 6 people in Weld County utilizes United Way services.
