Those benefiting include scouts, Red Cross, health center, ARC of St. Charles
LULING, LA- United Way of St. Charles Board of Directors approved $2 million for the 2010-2011 fiscal year to fund direct services addressing the needs of St. Charles Parish.
United Way of St. Charles uses this funding to provide support to local agencies in St. Charles Parish. Some of the agencies approved for funding include Boy Scouts, Girl Scouts, American Red Cross, St. Charles Community Health Center, ARC of St. Charles, St. Charles 4-H Clubs and Second Harvest.
In addition to providing support to agencies, United Way of St. Charles also develops and implements community impact programs that target specific needs in St. Charles Parish that are not addressed by any other agencies. These programs, designed to help people help themselves, include Success By 6, Project Transition and Money Matters:Financial Stability Program.
United Way of St. Charles’ Board of Directors approved a total allocation amount of $1,988,675 at its June meeting earlier this month.
United Way of St. Charles is able to provide support to agencies and develop programs due to donations made by contributors in the community. All donations made through the United Way of St. Charles’ annual campaign stay in St. Charles Parish, unless a donor requests their contribution be sent elsewhere.
“St. Charles Parish is unique in that the residents are proud of their community and give much of their time and money back to make the parish a better place for all,” said John Dias, United Way of St. Charles executive director.
