Thank you to Security Federal Savings Bank for being our Event Sponsor for last week's Annual Celebration! We also appreciate you letting us borrow Lynne & Kelly so often for Campaign last year, as well as many other staff members! ????

We would like to thank the 2024 Campaign Co-Chairs, Lynne Ness & Kelly Stephenson (aka the Trendsetters)! This duo put in many hours to meet with local businesses, speak at workplace campaigns, make calls, and whatever else was needed for the campaign. They have been so much fun to work with, and we can't thank them enough for their dedication to United Way! Despite having to navigate many challenges throughout the campaign, they kept plugging away and focused on the next objective. Thank you for all you've done ?

We awarded Habitat for Humanity of Cass County $10,000 for their upcoming Community Build! Habitat for Humanity is dedicated to providing affordable housing for our community, which is a crucial piece of helping families achieve Financial Security.

We have two upcoming events and would love for you to join us! Annual Celebration - Thursday, February 13th. Attendees must register by February 3rd.

Annual Bell Ringing with Kiwanis for our local Salvation Army! ?

Nearly 1 in 3 households in Cass County are working but struggling to make ends meet. 31% (compared to the state average of 27%) of our households are considered to be ALICE - Asset Limited, Income-Constrained, Employed. We recently led Logansport Noon Kiwanis through the Making Choices activity, where Kiwanis members were able to see the challenges that our ALICE families face on a regular basis. If your company is interested in having your employees participate in the ALICE training, please e-mail Karli [email protected]

We've teamed up with Area Five and Security Federal Savings Bank to offer a FREE financial education series! Start 2025 off right with Master Your Money! Register via Microsoft Forms here: https://lnkd.in/gWynKRMp
