12/12/12 - Local residents are able to take part in a unique giving opportunity Monday that will benefit a local non-profit working to address the most critical needs in the community. On Monday, the Livingston County United Way will be able to triple all donations received thanks to the Ted and Jane Von Voigtlander Foundation and two local donors who wish to remain anonymous. All of the monies raised will be designated specifically to provide local families and individuals with basic needs and services such as food programs, shelter and homeless support, rent and utility assistance along with budgeting and financial education. Because of the United Wayâs ability to leverage every dollar in donations to $2.12 means that the true impact of a $100 donation Monday becomes $636 that goes directly back into important services for those in need. Donations are 100% tax deductible and can be made by calling the Livingston County United Way at 810-494-3000, on-line at lcunitedway.org or the more tech-savvy can also text âuwmichâ to 85944 to make a one-time donation of $10 billed to your cell phone bill. Others who prefer to drop off donations in person can do so at locations throughout Livingston County or at the United Way offices on Dorr Road from 7am until 7pm on Monday, December 17th. Complete details can be found through the link below. (JM)
