Dear Elmira Staff,
Today, we are kicking off our United Way Workplace Giving Campaign! The United Way of the Southern Tier has been a true partner in supporting our local Elmira children and families. United Way fights for the health, education, and financial stability of every person in our LOCAL community.
Even if you’ve donated in the past,
payroll deduction enrollment is annual (it does not rollover). There are two ways to give:
1.
Payroll Giving (your choice of gift amount over 20 pay periods) – donate electronically here (username/password below):
https://portal.uwst.org/epledge/ecsdgives
Username: ecsdgives
Password: 14901
2.
Direct Giving (give direct by cash/check, debit/credit card or direct bill by either one-time or quarterly) –
download, print and the attached 2025 Pledge Form and send to ADMIN Washington to the attention of Beth Manwaring.
Today, so many of our neighbors in the Southern Tier are working hard to overcome barriers and get ahead.
Somewhere in our community:
• A working parent is looking for a way to make this week’s paycheck cover the growing costs of groceries, prescriptions, and housing.
• A high school grad is searching for a way to turn his diploma into a good-paying job and a promising career.
• A senior citizen is seeking a way to get to her out-of-town medical appointment.
But they’re not alone.
Together with program partners and supporters like you, United Way of the Southern Tier connects people to the opportunities they need to reach their full potential.
Please give today by clicking this link. Even a small gift will make a difference.
No challenge is too big if all we work together, because United is the Way.
