RUN A UNITED WAY WORKPLACE CAMPAIGN THIS FALL!
The idea of having a "United Fund" to support local needs spread to Logan County in 1955 when area business leaders joined together to offer a giving opportunity for their employees. The tradition of giving via payroll deduction at work continues to this day and the annual United Way campaign is still the largest communitywide fundraiser in Logan County. The workplace campaign is at the heart of that effort. Today, more than 40 local workplaces participate, extending the giving opportunity to their employees and accounting for roughly 83 percent of our annual support.
