Tannersville – Why do area businesses choose to partner with the United Way of Monroe County to help meet their philanthropic goals? |
Money raised here, stays here – to help local residents in need of a hand up, not a hand out. When you give to United Way of Monroe County, your donation makes a direct impact on the community and gets results by being directed to the most effective programs. |
Each year, United Way partner agencies apply for program funding; their applications and outcomes are reviewed and sites are visited by community volunteers who then make funding decisions based on community needs. |
There are many ways for a business to get involved and give back. |

Encouraging volunteerism also shows your staff and the community that you care. Volunteering as a team can build teamwork and camaraderie among staff members, as crews from area businesses like Sanofi Pasteur, Weiler, Target and East Stroudsburg University discover when they participate in the county-wide Day of Caring, where local businesses allow their staff to work either a half-day or full-day at a local non-profit. Day of Caring will be September 17, 2015. |
United Way recognizes participating businesses in its newsletters, media releases, in social media and on its website. To get more information on how to hold a workplace campaign, sponsor or hold an event, donate a raffle prize or volunteer to help those in need in our community, visit www.unitedwaymonroe.org, email info@unitedwaymonroe.org, or call the United Way of Monroe County at 570-629-5657. |
