UNITED APPEAL CAMPAIGN GETS UNDERWAY
The United Way campaign will get under way
la Adams-Millis Corporation's plants in Septem-
The United Appeal in each community has
*ietermined the needs of the agencies it repre
sents and makes an appeal once each year.
The United Way gives each person an oppor
tunity to make a single pledge to all of the par
ticipating agencies--one pledge will be divided
according to the services each agency offers to
the community.
United Appeal agencies helping people in the
communities because of United Appeal pledges
are able to assist the handicapped, the aged, the
young people and the under-privileged. Among
the agencies included are The American Red
Cross, American Social Health, The Association
Or Retarded Children, The Boy Scouts and Girl
Scouts of America, The Children's Home Society
N. C. , Community Health Services, The
ontal Health Association, The Salvation Army,
nited Community Services and International
ccial Service. Information about the services of
each agency will be provided during each of the
plant campaigns.
There are many reasons for pledging the
nited Way. Whether or not a person gives is
Un individual decision. Most people want to know
Ihe facts about the United Way so they can make
^n intelligent choice and a meaningful contribu
tion. The United Way is one of the best ways to
olp others-'fairly and economically.
Most people want to give something to help
others. They want to give their Fair Share.
he Fair Share idea asks each person to give in
l^i*oportion to his capacity to give. It suggests
that what we give should be based on our income
ovel. Those who earn more, give more; those
i^ho earn less, give less. The Fair Share guide,
^hich will be given to each employee during the
uumpaign, suggests what others on your pay
evelare giving. It is a guide to help each person
know whether or not he is giving his Fair
^hare.
United Way health and welfare agencies help
people who do not qualify for government assist
ance; its programs help people in ways that
government programs never will. Many of the
and aged, children and adults from every
^nomination and every walk of life, need the
personalized care, local treatment and services
that government just doesn't make possible.
That's why people give. They know that if we
work together, we can help people within the
local community who really need help.
Contributions to the United Appeal are
spent wisely. The United Appeal is a voluntary
organization with a board of directors repre
senting the top leadership in the community. The
United Appeal budget committee, which is made
up of knowledgeable businessmen, professionals
and housewives, constantly reviews the needs and
services of the agencies before funds are allo
cated. They make sure your dollar goes where
it will do the greatest good--to people with the
greatest need.
When you and I give the United Way, we
give to help people like you and me. When you
and I give our Fair Share, we will help supply
the needs of our communities.
THANKS TO YOU
