COLUMBUS, Ind. — The annual United Way of Bartholomew County fundraising campaign will be about $195,000 short of its $4 million goal by March 31 without more help.
Mark Stewart, United Way president, makes clear that he is overwhelmingly grateful for the financial support this far amid the COVID-19 pandemic that has limited and hampered business and corporate campaigns, including firm’s various fundraisers.
But he also is clear about the need for more help amid a greater need among local families coping with job losses, food shortages, health care expenses and more because of the pandemic.
“So we’re going back to the community for an additional appeal,” Stewart said.
