Greater Kansas City United Way (GKCUW) will be kicking off their 2011 campaign on September 8th. Hope House is proud to be a United Way partner agency. We recognize the good work done through United Way, and we will be involved in the campaign as well.
2011 United Way Campaign Focus
2011 United Way Campaign Focus
For this year’s campaign, GKCUW will focus on education, income and health.
- Education strategies will focus on helping children and youth attain their full potential.
- Income strategies are helping people achieve financial independence and stability.
- Health strategies are focused on helping people and their neighborhoods to be safe, healthy and thriving.
- All strategies are focused on ensuring that people in Greater Kansas City have all the building blocks for a good life.
How United Way Helps Hope House
We do our part to work with United Way to ensure they have a successful campaign. If their campaign is successful, then the agencies they fund will be more successful as well.
Approximately 6% of our budget comes from United Way, funding our shelter and our therapeutic services. We agree with United Way that when people are safe they have a better chance of being healthy and thriving.
How Hope House Helps United Way
Our partnership includes participating in the United Way Day of Caring and assisting with the campaign. We have our own internal campaign with our staff members and we will go out to the community to talk with other businesses. If your company doesn’t do an internal campaign I encourage you to start one this year.
If your business does a United Way campaign, you can request a speaker from Hope House. We would be honored to come to your place of work to talk about what we do and how your dollars help us meet our goals. If you’re interested, please contact Gretchen at gschmitz@hopehouse.net or 816-257-9342.
