"Check Off" for United Way

2010-02-17T09:09:00.001-08:00

This year the United Way of Genesee County is encouraging Michigan residents to "check off" for the United Way Fund on Michigan tax returns. Form 4642 will allow people to donate all or part of their 2010 Michigan tax return to the United Way Fund, a fund created to help Michigan's families in need. The fund helps provide food, clothing and shelter for Michigan's low to moderate income families.

Given today's economic conditions and high unemployment in Michigan, more families are at risk than ever before and the need for assistance has never been greater. The Michigan Association of United Ways worked with the Michigan Legislature to create a quick and easy way to donate resources that help ease the burden for many Michigan families. This year, please be sure to "check off" for the United Way Fund. All proceeds will benefit the United Way in your community. Giving has never been so easy!

Blog's Purpose

2009-10-15T12:43:00.000-07:00

Becoming unemployed or under-employed can be to most an overwhelming and frightening experience. Where do you go? What do you do? Do you need to learn how to write a resume? Do you need to further your education? Are you looking for medical help? Hopefully, whatever the need, this blog will help you to either give or receive support and information from others in the same situation.

Have you heard about a business that is hiring but the job is out of your area of expertise? You can share that info here and possibly someone in that field who, like you, is seeking employment will benefit from your update. Or…you can just share your thoughts with those who understand what you are experiencing.

The unions are far from gone. It will be another uphill battle, but we have to carry on for our children and their children. No matter what union you belong to, this is the time to come together as one body and one voice. The voice that says, “We want to work.” What are your thoughts?
