Annual Campaign

First Bankers Trust Check Presentation

United Way of Adams County kicks off their annual campaign every year in August and wraps the campaign up in January. The annual campaign is a community initiative for fundraising for the funding of 17 local non-profit organizations and funds 26 local programs with the common goal of a future where everyone can reach their full potential. Fundraising takes place within Adams County and 99% of the money raised stays within Adams County with 1% going to United Way Worldwide.

The annual campaign consists of multiple workplace campaigns within companies and organizations in the local area that allows employees the chance to give. Some companies make a corporate donation, and others do a corporate match of what their employees raise. Individuals can participate in the annual campaign through volunteering, advocacy and donations as well.

Since 1937, United Way has been connecting people and resources to meet the needs of our community. We are the bridge to new opportunities as we focus on ensuring children and youth realize their full potential, encouraging work readiness and financial stability, increasing access to vital health services, and addressing urgent needs today for a better tomorrow.

Through generous support by companies and individuals across Adams County, United Way supports 26 partner agency programs, numerous county-wide initiatives and community support services. United Way and its partners impact over 34,000 people each year – roughly 46% of all residents in Adams County. Teams of campaign collaborate with area businesses, professionals and individuals to share how United Way approaches community investment, strengthens non-profit partner agencies, leverages state/federal dollars and ultimately impacts lives of children and adults.
