A stronger reader today can mean a more confident student tomorrow.

Through programs supported by United Way of Southwest Michigan, 73% of participating children increased their reading level.

It’s one example of how investing in Youth Opportunity helps give local kids the tools, encouragement and support they need to learn, grow and reach their potential.

That’s your impact. Learn more, uwsm.org

For many of us, raking leaves is just another item on the fall to-do list. For a senior, it can mean risking a fall or serious injury.

Rake A Difference brings volunteers together to take that burden off the shoulders of local seniors who can't physically perform the work themselves and can't afford to hire someone to do it.

On November 12, volunteer teams will rake leaves and clean gutters at homes throughout Berrien, Cass and Van Buren counties.

A few hours of your time can help a neighbor safely get ready for another Michigan winter.

Team registration is OPEN at https://ow.ly/tyRE50ZEOmX.

What if your workplace could make a bigger impact right here in Southwest Michigan?

A United Way workplace campaign gives employees an easy way to come together and support the community where they live and work. Through payroll deduction, employees can choose to give a little each paycheck, turning small, manageable gifts into meaningful support throughout the year.

And a campaign can be more than fundraising. Make it your own with friendly competitions, team activities, volunteer opportunities and other ways to get employees involved.

Campaign season is underway, and there's still time to get your workplace involved! uwsm.org/workplace-campaign

Raking leaves and cleaning gutters are important parts of getting a home ready for winter. But for many seniors in our community, that work can be difficult, if not impossible, to safely do on their own.

That's where Rake A Difference comes in.

On November 12, hundreds of volunteers will spread out across Berrien, Cass and Van Buren counties to rake leaves and clean gutters for local seniors, helping them safely prepare their homes and yards for winter.

Volunteer team registration is OPEN! Gather your coworkers, friends, family, school, church or community group and register your team at rakeadifference.com.
