How to Start a Workplace Campaign

LIVE UNITED means being part of positive community change.  It takes everyone working together to create opportunities for a better life for all.  Lake Area United Way urges business leaders to commit their companies and organizations to supporting the annual community campaign.  Corporate and employee contributions raised during your workplace campaign will stay here. 

Local community volunteers will ensure your contributions will be invested in top performing, quality programs that give kids and teens the best possible start in life, help individuals and families achieve financial stability so they can be independent and self-reliant, and that promote good health and healthy lifestyles.
