The United Way of Mclean County is 21% of the way toward its annual fundraising goal in the early going. Last year, the United Way chapter that serves Bloomington and Normal distributed $3.2 million to member social service agencies. This year United Way leadership is hoping to boost that by eight percent.
CEO David Taylor says with many changes and uncertaintees around the state and locally, the United Way hopes the community will recognize the urgency to solve the situation as much as possible in McLean County.
The campaign has more than two months to go.
