Making Impact Visible

"I just never knew that was taking place," the Daimler Chrysler employee said to me after spending the afternoon visiting United Way initiatives throughout the tri-county.

"Sometimes you don't know until you can see it first hand," I responded.

"I was impressed with that 211 Center," she declared with conviction. "I could have gone longer than the four hours."

On Friday, 20 Daimler Chrysler leaders toured various organizations and activities that are impacting our friends, neighbors, co-workers and fellow residents. Hear what these leaders had to say by clicking here.

The act of getting out---- into the community----to see and learn is a powerful step.

Maybe, just maybe, those 20 leaders will tell 20 others....and so on. What they saw and experienced is what we know thousands and millions would have to do to fully understand the scope and impact of work taking place in community through the support of United Way. A large part of our work is to make visible often what is not seen. To give voice to those without.

You can help. Forward this e-mail to one other. Pass it on. Let him or her hear what these fellow residents learned by putting the feet to the pavement and exploring a side of community not always seen.
