Giving that gives back…
I know I’m not the only one who loves a coupon, with rising prices and economic uncertainty. We all are looking for a deal and making tough choices.
A while back, I mentioned here that the LIVE UNITED Club would be a new feature to the 2009 campaign.
So many people in our community step up year after year and we not only want to thank you but make it a little easier to keep giving. You can be a member if you
- Give a minimum of $156/year (or $3/week through your workplace) to Metro United Way and
- Provide your home address and personal e-mail address.
If you don’t already, visit Metro United Way’s website to give $156/year (or $3/week through your workplace) and join the LIVE UNITED Club!
Beginning in January, you will be e-mailed a pdf of your own LIVE UNITED Club card for you to print and place in your wallet. Simply show this card at participating local businesses… like Wick’s, Fantastic Sams, Republic Bank and many more…. to receive your discounts. Check out the LIVE UNITED Club web page to see the great offers we’ve already lined up for you from local businesses that want to thank you for helping your community.
You will also receive discounts from national partners when you provide your personal e-mail address. You will be sent an access code for mycaringclub.org to receive special offers from national merchants. These discounts will be available only through this web site. Depending on the retailer, discounts may be printable coupons for in-store use or a promotional code for on-line use. Current discounts will be good through February 2011 and will be continually updated.
Metro United Way is at the crossroads of business and philanthropy, with more area employers choosing to make their charitable impact through United Way than any other organization. Locally, we work with over 2,000 area businesses – like UPS, GE, Ford, Humana and many others – to facilitate opportunities for employees to give, advocate and volunteer.
