The United Way supports various social programs run by other agencies in the community, including emergency services, shelters, diversion programs, meals on wheels, and volunteer centers. Donations fund programs rather than agencies. The United Way also runs its own programs like a firewood project, ramp project, food drive, prescription discount program, transitional housing, and emergency planning for special populations. The document encourages support for the local United Way and notes that JSC raised over $1,000 for United Way last year.
