Dear Campus Community,

For more than 100 years, United Way of the Greater Lehigh Valley has invested in solutions that make life better for people in our community. Over the past year, supporters like you have helped more than 73,000 people access healthy and nutritious food, receive emergency services such as housing and disaster relief, and students having better opportunities to succeed in school.

Unfortunately, 44% of your neighbors are still struggling and are just one paycheck, or one emergency away from hunger or homelessness. How can our community thrive if almost half of the people can’t afford to live?

That’s where you come in.

Monday, March 4th, marks the start of the 2023-2024 United Way Campaign for Lafayette College. We invite you to join us in the fight to strengthen and rebuild our community. Every single person who donates becomes a part of creating a lasting impact. Every gift counts, no matter the size. Did you know that $4 per paycheck can provide a MONTH of food for a local family? Or that $20 per paycheck can help keep a child in school over the summer to continue their learning? The collective impact that you can make is magnified when it’s combined with thousands of other donors across the region. By donating to United Way [of the Greater Lehigh Valley], you can drive results right here in your community.

New this year! Any Lafayette employee who donates for the first time, or if any Lafayette employee increases their previous year’s gift by ANY amount, BSI Corporate Benefits will MATCH that donation/increase dollar-for-dollar towards United Way’s “United for Mental Health” campaign. This year is a great year to maximize your gift, and to really help individuals and families across the Greater Lehigh Valley!

Our United Way campaign runs from Monday, March 4th through Friday, March 29th. It only takes a minute or two to make a difference, and you can donate through a payroll deduction.Making your gift is quick and easy through the link below.
