Community Living’s 2023 Staff United Way Campaign
September 24-October 6, 2023
Community Living is a Safety Net Partner. What does that mean?
As part of United Way of Greater St. Louis’ Safety Net, we share funds donated during United Way’s fall campaign. The more United Way raises, the more we’re given. Last year, Community Living employees donated over $11,500 and we were given over $200,000 in funds from United Way. These funds allow us to provide a “safety net” for our community by offering services for people with disabilities.
