Episode Details

Linda Blair joined Wake Up Tri-Counties to talk about the annual postal mailing fundraiser in April. The Kewanee Area United Way is launching its annual fundraising campaign by mailing out letters to every current resident in the area. This year’s plea is especially urgent, as donations have dropped by up to 30 percent, impacting vital community services. The letter, marked clearly from Kewanee Area United Way in the top left corner, explains how donations support projects like Shoes for Kids, emergency shelter, the food pantry, and disaster response efforts. Residents are encouraged to open and read the letter, donate online at kauw.org, or pass the appeal to someone who might help. Even small gifts make a big difference.
