This year the Indiana Association of United Ways has offered local United Ways the INvest1213 grant. This is a matching incentive award up to $202,232 to the local community.
The theme for the campaign this year is that creating positive change in our community is a puzzle, and each one of us holds a piece.
The annual campaign is a tool that the United Way of Kosciusko County uses to drive change in our community.
