A MESSAGE TO OUR COMMUNITY

The 1993 United Way of Forsyth County General
Campaign is now underway, and its success has never
been more important to our community. Over 8,300
people ? your neighbors and ours ? are on waiting lists
at the United Way of Forsyth County's 51 member
agencies. They are waiting to receive assistance from at
least one of the more than 150 programs and services
offered by United Way agencies. Unfortunately, due to
lack of funding, that assistance is currently unavailable to
them. So they wait, and suffer the consequences.
For example, here in our community, there are 33
families with 67 children waiting for child abuse therapy.
More than 2,500 poverty-stricken and homeless people

were unable to receive emergency assistance last year
because monies had run out. Last year, for lack of
funding, more than 450 local youth were unable to
benefit from structured alternatives to "hanging out".
Thousands more were unable to receive desperately
needed services.
Still, United Way agencies made a difference in
many lives last year. 5,000 children and parents received
child abuse counseling through a program with a 93
percent success rate. Homeless individuals and families
received more than 51,500 nights of lodging. Thousands
of young people in our community benefitted from a
variety of youth programs, activities which kept them
off the street corners and out of trouble.
United Way agencies make a differer v\ _?nly in
the lives of individuals and families, bu. in entire
communities. Winston-Salem Police Chief George
Sweat says,. "Programs and services provided by United
Way of Forsyth County agencies are a positive
and significant difference in reducing crime in our
community.''
Our goal this year is a tremendously important
one: To raise every dollar we can to help close the gap
between our neighbors* needs and the availability of
human services here in our community.

As of today, companies in our community In ve
already pledged corporate contributions of 1 1, 344,329.
They are listed below. On behalf of our community, we
thank them all for their caring spirit.
Most employee campaigns will be starting within a
few weeks. United Way of Forsyth County volunteers
will be making a simple and reasonable request of those
employees. They will be asking that each and every one
increase their gift for 1993 by only one dollar per week.
If every person working in Forsyth County gave only
one more dollar per week, we could move those more
than 8,300 local people off the waiting lists.
When your time comes this fall to make your
United Way contribution, please remember: Just one
dollar per week more. You can make a difference in the
quality of life for your neighbors...right here in our
community.
Sincerely,
Pat & Hal Brown
