United Way hopes to
recruit more community
partners in Morrow County
this year. Last year $ 10,654
was raised in Morrow
County. The United Way
board and staff hope to
increase giving in Morrow
County this year by getting
more small businesses and a
higher number of individual
donors involved.
“ Giving through
United Way is easy and
very effective if you want
to make a real impact on
your community,” said
United Way Board Chair
Karen Hutchinson-Talaski.
“United Way’s mission of
‘Increasing the capacity of
our communities to care
for others’ is fulfilled by
coordinating employee

workplaces and through
