This year, be sure to "check off" for the United Way Fund!
Given today’s economic conditions and high unemployment in Michigan, more families are at risk than ever before and the need for assistance has never been greater. The Michigan Association of United Ways worked with the Michigan Legislature to create a quick and easy way to donate resources that help ease the burden for many Michigan families.

When filing your 2009 state taxes you will notice a new line item on the Michigan state tax income form 4642, which allows tax payers to donate all or part of their 2009 Michigan tax return to the United Way Fund. The United Way Fund has been created to help assist low to moderate income families in Michigan with basic needs such as food, clothing and shelter.

The United Way Fund is an easy way to Live United and to make a difference in your community. Please remember to “check off” for the United Way fund. For more information on the United Way Fund or to find opportunities to give, advocate or volunteer in your community, contact your Local United Way.
