"The beauty of being a United Way volunteer is that there are so many ways in which to give: there will always be a method that fits my current circumstances. When my children were small, my volunteering was on our workplace campaign since I had little free time after work. When they got a little older, they came with me to community building projects. When they were grown and gone (and doing their own volunteering), I had more time to volunteer on my own and, so, served on a couple of committees. Now, my union duties have increased, so I'm on just one committee, but give at the Leadership level. United Way accommodates my needs so that I can help others."
