Award Winners

We make it easy for employers to run a payroll deduction campaign. Participation in the campaign is voluntary. We conduct a short presentation at an all-staff meeting or when it is convenient for you. The meeting provides an overview of the needs of our community, the role of United Way, the program and service we fund, and how payroll deductions and fundraisers in the workplace can help provide much-needed funds.

United Way of the Desert Salutes Our Desert Stars companies.
