Our neighbors need us. From the service professionals without childcare to the small business owners experiencing loss of income, we see the mounting pressure of community recovery ahead. We are here to help. Thanks to our partners at Indiana United Way and Lilly Endowment Inc., your White County United Way along with the Community Foundation of White County, the Community Foundation of Pulaski County, and the Jasper Newton Foundation can provide community relief to service agencies in need of assistance during these tough times through the Community Relief Fund. We are engaged with state and national resources to help bring recovery funds to our neighborhoods. We have responded to the crisis by compiling community updates and sharing them daily on social media. You can find a copy by clicking on this link to download the document. In the future, we may be called to assist with increased operating costs of our current human services partners, or support others in their quests to serve our neighbors. Together, we can be ready. We cannot wait until the schools and movie theaters are open before we start to rebuild. We must prepare and plan today to build our communities when we can once again gather and enjoy them. If you would like to make a donation to the COVID-19 Community Relief Fund, please follow the links on this page to submit payment to our PayPal portal. Between March 19 and the end of the State of Emergency, all donations made through our online links to PayPal will be earmarked for community-based relief of the negative effects of our Covid-19 Emergency. We thank you for your contributions and your dedication to our community in these trying times. Together, we win! Any non-profit social service organization impacted by Covid-19 and serving White, Jasper, or Pulaski counties may apply for relief through the Community Relief Fund. The application can be found here. As always, if you are in need of services, please call 211 for a directory of available resources. |

Q: What if I don't have the opportunity to give at work?
