Spread joy this season with United Way of Metro Chicago's Uniting for the Holidays!

This holiday season, you can help bring hope and joy to families across the Chicago region. Over 30% of households in our area struggle to afford essentials like food, shelter, and healthcare. By partnering with United Way and our community partners, you're helping neighbors meet these basic needs while brightening their holidays. Your support will make a difference in building a stronger Chicago region. 

Here are two meaningful ways you can help:

1. Create a Peer-to-Peer Fundraiser: Invite your family, friends, and networks to join you in supporting this initiative. Together, you can raise awareness and funds to brighten the holidays for those in need.
2. Make a Contribution: Whether you choose to give a one-time donation or set up a recurring contribution, every gift makes a difference. Your generosity can help ensure that our neighbors have the essentials they need this holiday season.

• A gift of $25 can provide a holiday meal for a family of four
• A gift of $100 can provide three nights of shelter for a child and their family.
• A gift of $200 can provide a primary care doctor’s visit to support health and well-being.

Thanks to a generous match from our Board of Directors, your gift will make an even bigger impact! All contributions before December 31 will be matched, dollar-for-dollar, up to a total of $50,000.
