There are times when United Way of Addison County doesn’t need to identify the most pressing issues in our region, like the current pandemic that we are in the midst of. However, it is still our responsibility to bring together the people and the resources we think can solve them. Funding nearly 30 organizations in Addison County gives UWAC a unique advantage to understanding these needs and to continue to work together towards solutions.
But for all that, sometimes the need is so current, to bring the people and the resources together requires more support than what we planned for. Which is why we present to you the opportunity to not just react but to respond by contributing to Addison County Responds.
Take a look at how funds raised from Addison County Responds have been put to good work.
This 90-minute facilitated dialogue will introduce questions that non-profit organizations should ask themselves to assess where they are at and where they want to be in terms of embodying anti-racism in their policies and practices.
