51 million Americans are unemployed right now (via U.S. Department of Labor). In a year when many people unexpectedly lost their paycheck, you can make a difference. Give today and you will support job training and employment counseling that helps all our neighbors live stable and secure lives. https://app.mobilecause.com/f/2kwx/n?vid=fh4eh #UWCCCStartTodayUnited

15% of all students don’t graduate from high school says @EdNCES. Among students from under-resourced families that number rises to 20%. In a year when students have faced more challenges than normal, help them get the educational support they need. Give today. https://app.mobilecause.com/f/2kwx/n?vid=fh4eh #UWCCCStartTodayUnited

Everyone in our community deserves to live a healthy life. But racial health disparities exist. Nearly 14% of Black Americans and over 17% of Indigenous Americans report fair or poor health, compared to just 8% of non-hispanic whites (via @CDC). Give to help address these disparities. https://app.mobilecause.com/f/2kwx/n?vid=fh4eh #UWCCCStartTodayUnited

Thank you to The Sentinel Newspaper for publishing the Letter to the Editor below and to Domestic Violence Services of Cumberland and Perry Counties for your invaluable work. Dear Editor: October is Domestic Violence Awareness Month, when advocates across the country bring their communities together to remember those who have lost their lives to domestic violence. There were two young women in Cumberland County who were tragically added to this group in 2020.... At the beginning of the pandemic, The National Network to End Domestic Violence noted that, "while national leaders encourage us to stay home to reduce transmission of the COVID-19 virus, we also know that home is not safe for many adults and children. Resources are now strained by the pandemic and survivors face more limited, and sometimes more excruciating, choices." Domestic Violence Services of Cumberland & Perry County could not do the life-saving work of providing assistance to survivors without the support of the United Way of Carlisle & Cumberland County. Their funding is helping our agency house survivors at a local motel, since our Emergency Shelter would not have provided adequate space for social distancing. The United Way acted quickly, once we knew the extent of COVID-19, to create the Carlisle Area Emergency Response Fund to assist with community efforts to safeguard those most impacted by the virus. The United Way is a leader in our area and an agency that can be counted on to utilize every dollar raised wisely and efficiently. Please consider contributing to the United Way of Carlisle and Cumberland County’s Campaign. Their 100% guarantee assures that every undesignated dollar to the campaign goes directly to programs and services, with no administrative fee. Administrative and fundraising costs are offset by generous corporate gifts.

An annual volunteer day!

GSK organized a group of 44 volunteers for this year's Day of Caring!

Please join the United Way of Carlisle & Cumberland County, in partnership with the Children Matter Action Fund, for a Candidates Conversation, Tuesday, October 13, 6:00 PM, along with child care and early learning education providers and parents, business members, and other resident and community members to hear from candidates for PA State Senate or House office, who are running to represent you. This is an important issue in our community. Seventy-six percent (76%) of the ...children eligible for Child Care Works are unserved in the 31st Senate District 31. And, in Cumberland County, 76% of children eligible for high-quality, publicly-funded, pre-k do not have access. All General Election candidates from the state’s Senate District 31 and House District 87 are invited to participate in this moderated conversation, and share their views on early childhood education, child care, impacts on business and the community, and related early care and education issues. Please confirm your participation in advance via this registration link, https://zoom.us/webinar/register/WN__A-wuYZ8QVO91Z6rEnSg3Q A confirmation email with your access link will then be emailed to you. Join in and hear what candidates in your district are thinking!
