Tannersville, PA – The United Way of Monroe County is still hoping to meet its goal of $1.2 million to help fund more than 30 programs that are vital to our community and its residents. To date, the 2010 campaign has reached 82% of its goal, with $984,342 in funds raised. With the campaign ending on Dec. 31, there is an urgency to raise the much-needed funds.
“We are asking for the community’s help, including new donors, to help us reach our goal,” stated Campaign Chair Pat Ross. “The people of Monroe County have shown their generosity on countless occasions and I don’t think this will be any different. During this season of giving, we hope everyone can pitch in with any amount and give from their heart,” he said.
