| Some of our smallest but mightiest volunteers on Make A Difference Day. |
In
order to operate year-round, Marshfield Area United Way relies heavily
on the support of hundreds of volunteers throughout the year. From the
governing Board of Directors to the committee of individuals who decide
ho
w your generous contributions will be distributed, volunteer community
members help United Way leverage resources to do the most good and
address our community's most pressing human service needs.
Our
small United Way staff (2.5 employees) certainly wouldn't be able to
successfully execute the annual fall campaign without the generosity of
volunteers. Every year, Campaign Drive Chairs make the commitment to
volunteer their time and their voice to lead that year's United Way
campaign, while volunteer employees from numerous companies city-wide
take on additional duties every fall to represent United Way during
their company's workplace campaign, acting as an advocate and
facilitator for our organization. Marshfield Area United Way also uses
volunteers to help with fundraising events throughout the year. These
volunteers play an integral part of making sure the events run smoothly.
Thank you to all the individuals involved with the following United Way committees and efforts throughout the year:
- Board of Directors
- Community Impact Committee Members
- Finance Committee Members
- Campaign Committee Members
- Campaign Volunteers
- Employee Campaign Coordinators
- Special Event (5K for United Way, Wipeout) Volunteers
Marshfield
Area United Way has year-round initiatives that are volunteer-based as
well. Our greatest appreciation goes out to everyone who helps with the
following United Way initiatives: the Annual Backpack & School
Supply Drive, Make a Difference Day, the Tax Preparation Assistance
program, the Volunteer Reception Center Response team, and the scores of
businesses, organizations, and individuals (and they are too many to
list by name) who make the weekly implementation of the Nutrition On
Weekends program possible:
Thank
you to the 2014 Leadership Marshfield group who helped and continue to
help with the organization of the NOW program and scheduling of
volunteers.

A
special thank you to the countless people who have donated food items
for the program, to Rotary Winter Wonderland for the donations of peanut
butter & jelly, and to Nasonville Dairy for their weekly donation
of cheese for the children.
This
all amounts to hundreds of volunteers and thousands of hours of time
donated by individuals, groups, businesses and community leaders who
care about our community. The appreciation United Way has for all these
efforts to make the Marshfield area a better place to live is too much
to express with words.
Humbly, graciously, "thank you all."
