How You Can Help: Give

Giving is at the center of everything we do at United Way of Treasure Valley.  It’s your giving that allows us to Help the Most People, by giving back through partner agencies.

And it happens in many ways:

You give when you volunteer your time to share the Help the Most People message with others.
You give when you volunteer your time toward any number of events and activities through United Way.

But most importantly, it happens when you generously give your donations to United Way.  And, to make it as simple and convenient as possible, there are a number of ways that you can give.  You can:

Have donations automatically deducted from your payroll through your employer
Send a donation via mail to:
United Way of Treasure Valley
P.O. Box 7963
Boise, Idaho 83707
Donate via credit card online
And new this year, you can donate directly from your PayPal account via the ChipIn widget below.

This widget will be a fixture on the Help the Most People blog throughout the 2009 Community Campaign, and you’ll be able to view the progress over time.

As always, we’d like to thank you for your continued support of United Way, and for helping us to Help the Most People.  If you have any questions or need more information, please feel free to contact us.

How You Can Help: Volunteer

Continuing in the series of “how can I help” or “how can I get involved” with United Way of Treasure Valley and Help the Most People, in addition to sharing the message, you can also volunteer your time.

How, you ask?  You can:

• Get DIRTy by joining the Direct Impact Response Team, which gets together once a month for a volunteer project over the lunch hour.
• Search for specific service opportunities that are a good fit for your skills, time and availability.
• Lend your own expertise to one of our areas of work: Education, Income, and Health.

Your generous donation of your time and expertise is yet another way that you can help United Way, and allow us to Help the Most People.  The more we can all help, the greater impact we’ll have on the community.
