Elkhart, IN – United Way to Present Expert Panel July 16th at Goshen College || ALICE in the Crossroads: An Update on Financial Hardship in Elkhart, LaGrange, and Noble Counties.
Elkhart, IN – The Great Cardboard Boat Race, brought to you by Winnebago Industries to benefit Crossroads United Way, took place this past Friday, and the results were nothing short of extraordinary. The event saw record-breaking attendance and boat participation, solidifying its place as one of the community’s most anticipated events of the year.
The United Way of Elkhart County has reached its goal this year by raising enough to help one out of four residents, officials announced on Tuesday.
The agency recently concluded its workplace campaign and raised nearly $2 million to support working families in the areas of health, education and financial stability.
Though the amount surpassed last year’s by about $70,000, Ashley Bowen, director of development, said the agency changed the focus of its campaign goal to emphasize only the number of lives touched rather than a financial number.
