Our
United Way works in every Aroostook County community
to offer solutions to today’s problems. We actively
seek donations to be distributed to health and human
service agencies and their programs so that they may
provide the services needed in our community.
Why
should I give to the United Way?
When you
support your local United Way, you’re doing something
to build a healthier community right here at home.
How
much money actually stays here in the County?
99.3% of
the funds raised stays here in the County. The .7% that
leaves the County is designated to outside organizations
by donors. Does
United Way of Aroostook only help people in central Aroostook?
No, United
Way of Aroostook is located in Presque Isle but its area
of service is County wide. What
is the general fund?
The general
fund is undesignated donations. Community volunteers look
at community needs and determine which agencies and programs
better serve those needs. This volunteer driven process
ensures that your dollars will be disbursed where they
are most needed.
