Submitted by K-State United Way Committee
As we navigate through the challenges of our daily lives, it's crucial to remember the impact we can make when we come together for a common cause. The K-State United Way campaign is providing you with a unique opportunity to contribute to a greater good, and in return, you could win some fantastic perks.
Donate and win
By contributing a minimum of $2 per pay period through the Human Resources Information System, or HRIS, to the Konza United Way, you not only support a noble cause but also become eligible for an exciting drawing. Imagine having the chance to enjoy one full paid day off or securing a coveted one-year parking pass on campus. Your generosity can be rewarded with these valuable incentives, making your donation a win-win for both you and our community.
Supporting United for Alice
Your donations go beyond personal benefits; they extend to supporting United for Alice. ALICE, an acronym for Asset Limited, Income Constrained, Employed, represents the increasing number of families struggling to afford basic necessities such as housing, child care, food, transportation, health care and technology. These hardworking families face financial challenges while keeping our local communities functioning.
In response to these obstacles, Konza United Way launched the Financial Stability Partnership. This initiative supports programs that bring about community change, aiding families in meeting their basic needs and gaining the financial capability to plan for long-term goals.
Making a difference
Here are some of the impactful programs your contributions support:
- Flint Hills Area Transportation Agency (aTa Bus) Fixed Route Program: Providing reliable transportation to underemployed and low-income members in St. George, Wamego, Riley County and Junction City for work, school, medical appointments and shopping.
