Whenever you have a problem that has you puzzled, confused, or overwhelmed and you don't know where to turn. United Way staff, agencies and volunteers use a six-month process to determine how investments in United Way are distributed among programs that will help create lasting change in our community. Investments go to programs that help the largest number of the neediest people and show measurable results. More than 70 volunteers and 24 agencies participate in the process.

If you know any woman currently undergoing chemotherapy, please pass the word to her that there is a cleaning service that provides FREE housecleaning - once per month for 4 months while she is in treatment. All she has to do is sign up and have her doctor fax a note confirming the treatment. Cleaning for a Reason will have a participating maid service in her zip code area arrange for the service. This organization serves the entire USA and currently has 547 partners to help these women. It's our job to pass the word and let them know that there are people out there that care. Be a blessing to someone and pass this information along.
