No matter what, giving back just makes you feel good. You'll have the satisfaction of knowing you helped make a difference in the lives of your neighbors, friends, and family.

We raise funds at a lower cost than our partner agencies can do on their own, which allows them to concentrate on their main mission: helping people in need.

Volunteers raise the money and volunteers decide where to invest our gifts to make the biggest impact.

Giving makes you part of the solution. It takes someone with a caring heart coupled with courage to step forward and volunteer to be part of the solution.

What you give stays here. Dollars raised in your community, stay in your community to help build a better place to live, work, and raise our children.

A strong, healthy community is a good place to come home to. By addressing the most pressing community needs, we are eliminating problems you don't want to have in your neighborhood.

It is the most convenient and efficient way to give to your ENTIRE community. By giving to United Way, you meet the needs of a variety of local agencies providing a wide range of services.

Your gift is 100% tax-deductible. You'll thank us on April 15th.

There's strength in numbers. If every employee in greater McHenry County gave just $1 a week, we would raise over $7 million. Imagine the possibilities.

It's a small way to make a big difference in people's lives.
