Dear [Salutation]:

Imagine a community where….kids are prepared to thrive when they get to kindergarten, hard-working people can make ends meet, young people have the tools they need to avoid risky behaviors, people are safe and healthy, and everyone has access to decent, affordable housing.

LOCAL INVESTMENT. LOCAL IMPACT.

Together, we can advance education, income, health and housing and create opportunities for a better life throughout Middlesex County. With your help, Middlesex United Way is investing in programs aimed not just at quick fixes, but at viable, long-term solutions.Together, we have the power to create a stronger, healthier Middlesex County for us all. When we LIVE UNITED, we can do really big things. For example:

  • Last year, 415 low- to moderate-income familiesreceived free tax preparation help through the Volunteer Income Tax Assistance program, returning $578,000 in tax refunds to hard-working people.
  • The Healthy Communities-Healthy Youth initiative is working in 13 Middlesex County towns to increase young people’s participation in their communities and reduce risky behaviors. In the 13 towns surveyed, youth reporting substance abuse decreased 25%, violence decreased 24%, and anti-social behavior decreased 11%.
  • More than 270 families, including 260 children, have remained in their homes thanks to one-time assistance from the Middlesex County Coalition on Housing Homelessness.

[Your organization name] will kick off our annual Middlesex United Way campaign on [date]. We contributed $[dollar amount] last year, and over the last decade, we’ve given $[dollar amount]. Let’s keep the momentum going this year and raise $[goal] for Middlesex County!
