CALLING ALL UNITED WAY VOLUNTEERS

United Way of Linn County has a great opportunity for you to get to know and serve your local community as a volunteer to review applications for our 2020-2021 funding allocations.

 

What:

Volunteers will review funding requests from various local human service agencies, discuss the impact of the program to the community, the program’s alignment with United Way goals, and ultimately make funding recommendations from dollars raised across Linn County to the United Way Board of Directors.

When:

The community allocations process will span three evenings in March & April. Please note: In light of the recent issues surrounding COVID-19 with in person meetings, Skype will be made available for each of the following meetings.
