Safe Toys and Gifts

Toys are supposed to be fun

The Gift of
Hope
This time of year means different
things to different people: holidays, family gatherings,
getting in touch with relatives and friends, religious
observances, and of course, a season of gift giving
including making a charitable gift to those less
fortunate. Please give the gift of hope this season by
donating to the United Way campaign. You can be
confident that your contribution to United Way is an
investment in our community because nearly 88 cents of
every dollar goes to help fund more than 180 health and
human service programs provided by 130 agencies serving
over 400,000 Greater Cleveland residents every
year. Donate
