The Capital Area United Way is encouraging a different kind of gift giving this holiday season.
Executive Director Holly Wade says what their partner agencies need most are money and volunteers. She says donating through CAUW’s Holiday Giving option helps take the burden of fundraising off their shoulders so the agencies can focus on helping people.
Wade encourages people to consider donations as their gifts. When you send your donation on behalf of a friend or family member, they have some Christmas cards for you to give them with information about how that donation will have impact on families in this community.
98% of the funds raised help the 16 partner agencies in Hughes and Stanley Counties.
To give a gift of impact this holiday season, email director@capareaunitedway.org or use https://fundraise.givesmart.com/f/40uf/n?vid=vgz37 to fill out the online donation form.
Another creative way to help others in the community this year is through office or organization holiday parties. Rather than drawing names for gifts, pool that money together as a donation. Contributions can be mailed to Capital Area United Way, PO Box 1111, Pierre, SD 57532.
