United Way of Kosciusko County Campaign in Full Swing

Activities are underway for the United Way of Kosciusko County 2012 Campaign. The goal for this year's annual fund drive has been established at $2.18 million; it is simply a target for the campaign cabinet. The involvement of existing partners and new participating businesses will make every attempt so the goal can be reached.

This year in conjunction to our 2012 campaign, our funding growth could literally double the investment in Kosciusko County. The Indiana Association of United Ways has offered local United Ways the INvest 1213 grant. This is a matching incentive for new dollars up to $202,232 for our community.

United Way of Kosciusko County Makes a Move

The United Way of Kosciusko County has moved to better serve our community. The offices are now located at 3755 Lake City Highway, in the old Sprint Building. After being in the same office location for 10 years and exceeding the capacity there, the United Way staff began looking for a new office. The new location offers almost twice the amount of office and storage space and was offered to the non-profit organization at a substantial cost savings.
