The Livingston County United Way’s annual Matching Money Monday fundraising event this year brought in over $435,000, breaking its record.
Proceeds from the event will be invested into local basic need programs to help families with food, shelter, utilities and more. Community leaders will come together in mid-April to determine how to disburse the donations by reviewing funding applications, financial reports and return-on-investment statistics from area agencies making application for the funds.
“I’m extremely happy to share the wonderful news,” said Patricia Slater, executive director of the Livingston County United Way. “We can’t say thank you enough to all our friends here in Livingston County. You are truly helping to change the lives of area residents.”
