Since 1945, your local United Way has been focusing on the well-being of Ventura County residents. We have provided financial assistance to over 1,800 households affected by the fires and continue to assist with long-term hardship and recovery. Last month, Women United awarded 19 single mothers living in poverty with $2,000 education awards to help them pursue their dreams of higher education. This year, our Building Healthy Smiles Initiative helped provide 460 children with oral health assessments and fluoride varnish treatments through our Building Healthy Smiles Initiative. Plus, this tax season we surpassed $1 million in Earned Income Tax Credits to our community!
Please consider giving an end-of-year donation by June 30 and help sustain these vital collective impact initiatives. Have a wonderful summer.
In service,
Eric Harrison
President & CEO
