Our campus goal is to raise $125,000 dollars for local people
in need. Through payroll deduction you can give just a
few dollars out of each paycheck and over a year's time it will
add up and have a significant impact on the lives of those that
need it most. A small contribution can do so much for our community.
Who knows? Someone at UCSB who gives through United
Way could end up using the services that we help to fund. United
Way is not just for those individuals that are "at risk"
or poverty level. It is for all of us: many donors have found themselves
recipients of services such as job training, child care scholarships,
counseling, and many other services.
All of the donations made by UCSB stay in Santa
Barbara County unless they are designated outside of the area. A
significant amount of the contributions stay in the UCSB community
through the Isla Vista connection that supports the UCSB Child Care
Center, and Isla Vista Youth Projects.
