United Way is holding a collection drive for new warm hats, gloves and socks for those in our community who are in need. Donate these much-needed items and help everyone in our community stay warm this winter. Who are those in need? The sad truth is that a great majority of those in need are families with children who are just struggling to get by. According to the Real Cost Measure study done by the United Way of California recently, 35% of Nevada County households with children face a large barrier to economic security.
This collection drive will help those households and individuals stay warm during the upcoming winter months. Now through Dec. 12th , new warm hats, gloves and socks can be dropped off at the following locations: The AAA office, B&C Ace Home Center, The Union, Hospice of the Foothills, Baird Financial, the Rood Center lobby and also the new United Way of Nevada County office located at 202 Providence Mine Rd., Suite 107 in Nevada City (call first).
Currently United Way of Nevada County is focusing on helping the community of Nevada County in the area of Basic Needs, including Food, Emergency Shelter and Access to Health Care. United Way of Nevada County envisions a community where all individuals and families achieve their desired potential through healthy lives, education and income stability. If you are interested in finding out more about our collection drive, please call 274-8111 or email admin@uwnc.org. Live United this holiday season and help us keep the community warm.
