Tools to Help Run Your 2022 Campaign
While many Employee Giving Campaigns are beginning to shift back to historically traditional campaigns, as we continue to deal with the COVID-19 pandemic, many also 
continue to operate remotely and electronically. In this 2022 Campaign Toolkit, resources that fit both styles of campaigns are being offered. Please see those resources below and feel free to download and use them to make your campaign as successful as possible.
Remember, when posting anything related to your workplace campaign on social media, please use the hashtag #UnitedWayRRV so that we can share it and recognize you on our social media channels!
In addition to these tools, United Way staff remain available to assist your campaign in any way.
Contact Octavia Williams for additional assistance or email campaign@unitedwayrrv.org. Call us at 815-968-5400.

Too few children in Winnebago County are reading at grade level. United Way, along with numerous partners, is looking to change that. This sheet explains how we're doing so.
United Way COVID-19 response information sheet
The needs remain great and United Way continues to step up in supporting our residents, small businesses, and all those impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic. Our response was strong at the beginning of the pandemic and continues today with supporting organizations still struggling to regain their post-COVID footing.
