The economic upheaval has not been kind to non profits. as many have seen an increase in need while funding continues to shrink. Second Harvest has experienced a 78 percent increase in demand for its services over the last 18 months. Fitzgerald said Though the United Way only accounts for five percent of the budget for the massive organization, which covers an l&^county area. Second HarVest staff members were among the throngs of employees who took the United We Can campaign to the streets, fervently solicit ing donations for the United Way. Support from the United Way accounts for roughly a third of the YWCA's $4 mil lion budget, said CEO Florence Corpening.

"We appreciate all they do for us and for the other 33 member agencies," he remarked. "Even in a down economy, they are so good at getting the message out there and getting everyone to contribute."
