2019 Community Campaign Video!

We kicked off our 2019 Community Campaign on Wednesday, September 11th, with a goal of raising $1,800,000 to help local people in need, and a theme of “People Power for Local Change!”  The Kick-off was held at a United Way partner agency, Independence Association, in Brunswick, and sponsored by Mid Coast Hospital, which also produced this year’s campaign video.   
 
Campaign Chair Steve Bailey of West Bath urged all community members to give.

“The only way 25,000 people get the help they need each year is because thousands of individual people decide to act on their compassion, donate to United Way’s campaign, and put their donation to work alongside their coworkers, friends, and  neighbors’ gifts,” Bailey said.

“It’s also very important that we increase giving from retirees, individual professionals, and others giving outside the workplace,” said Bailey. “You are a very important part of this community and this campaign. Thank you in advance for giving more generously than ever, to change more lives for the better!” 

Anyone not reached by a workplace campaign can send a donation to United Way of Mid Coast Maine, 34 Wing Farm Parkway, Bath, Maine 04530.  People can also call 207-443-9752 or donate on our website to give monthly or one-time by credit card or ask to be billed.
