West Suburban United Way wants you to know that we have completed our Community Investment process for this year.  Even with your generous contributions and support, along with many other investors, we were unable to sustain our support to our agencies at the same level as last year.

Because we had to slightly decrease our support, the dollars you gave are more important than ever to the 59 different programs at 28 different agencies.

Thanks to the support of our community investors, we have been able to provide:

• $26,125 so the homeless can have a safe place to sleep at night.
• $11,210 to help families in transition to establish new homes.
• $71,440 for parents to have a safe place for their children to while they are at work.
• $141,050 to help seniors to live full independent lives.
• $29,450 to help families with no health insurance receive the necessary medication and check ups.
• $153,828 in order to help those with disabilities and their families lead full productive lives.
• $189,050 so people suffering from mental illness, ADD, and ADHD have someone to turn to.
• $94,050 so our children can grow to be strong, self-reliant members of our community.
• $83,125 to teach teens responsibility, respect for themselves, and others, and to keep them out of gangs.
• $14,725 for families battling substance abuse.
• $4,750 so people who need legal assistance know their rights under the law.
• $14,725 to help victims of domestic violence and sexual assault.
• $17,860 so our communities grow stronger even in these uncertain times.

Investing in your community is important now more than ever.  We could not accomplish all of these things without your continuing support.  Please share this with others so they become aware of the work that is being done in our community.
