United Way Fox Cities

Today is World Introvert Day! Community involvement looks different for everyone, and that’s the beauty of it. Here are a few ideas for our introverted hand-raisers: 1. Donate to causes you care about. No meetings or events required! 2. Use your voice online by sharing resources and posts from local nonprofits. 3. Find local or remote volunteer opportunities that match your strengths at volunteerfoxcities.org. 4. Join a board or a committee to bring your thoughtful voice to the table. 5. Help your neighbors quietly—shovel a driveway or drop off groceries anonymously. Your way of giving back matters, and our community is stronger because of you! 💙

A new year brings new opportunities to make a difference. Here’s to working together to create lasting change in 2025! (Here, Menasha Corporation leads the way at the Kimberly-Clark Eastern Wisconsin Diaper Bank. 🎉)

Cheers to you, Fox Cities neighbors ⛄

Holiday sweaters aren't the only thing spreading warmth this season! 🎄 Thank you, Essity—your United Way campaign will help more neighbors succeed in school, work, and life.

Season's Greetings! Our office will be minimally staffed between December 23, 2024, and January 3, 2025. Please remember that the 211 helpline is available for anyone needing local resources for food, diapers, utilities, and more over the holidays. When you dial 2-1-1, a real person in the Fox Cities will be ready to take your call. If you’re still considering a gift to United Way Fox Cities before year-end, visit https://lnkd.in/eMN_RnqW. Thank you for making our community brighter! 🌟

A question for you, local nonprofits: We know that you're hard at work to meet the needs of the Fox Cities. This holiday season, what are the most common requests?

Celebrate the season with us as our dancing sweaters bring a little joy and warmth your way! At United Way Fox Cities, we’re reminded that—just like these sweaters—our community is made stronger by the unique threads that connect us all. Happy holidays, Fox Cities neighbors 💙

The holidays can be tough for caregivers supporting loved ones with dementia. LEAD United volunteers came together to pack over 150 holiday kits for local caregivers. These kits are a small way to support those who give so much. 💙 Thank you to our incredible partners and hosts at Fox Valley Memory Project and Community First Credit Union!

It only takes a moment to turn strangers into friends! Say hello and help make your community a little closer.
