United Way Campaign
The Central Albeta United Way Campaign is feeling the pinch in 2016. As the campaign winds down it appears total funds raised will be down slightly from last year. It’s a sure sign of a suffering economy, but United Way of Central Alberta CEO Robert Mitchell remains upbeat.
There are ways you can help out personally. In the spirit of the season the United Way invites Central Albertans to give a gift which will effectively help another individual in our community. You can visit www.caunitedway.ca and choose a gift from the United Way Gift Catalogue. You can find the catalogue at the top right corner of the front page of that website. Here’s a link to save you time… Click Here.
