尊敬的BGSU员工:

It is our pleasure to announce the kickoff of the 2023 联合劝募活动 with Northwest Ohio Community Shares.

在去年, thousands of our neighbors, 家庭, and friends called 统一的方式 211 to be connected to community resources. Over 1,000 individuals in need of emergency housing services called into 211. Your gift to 统一的方式 helps provide resources to those facing homelessness, struggling with violence in the home, or dealing with the devastation and displacement of a fire or flood.

在伍德县， 35% of 家庭 in Wood County are experiencing poverty or are unable to meet their basic needs? These are 家庭 who they struggle to make ends meet. With rising costs of household necessities, 家庭 are forced to make tough choices - between paying rent, putting food on the table, or buying school supplies for their 孩子们.  

Your contribution to 统一的方式 changes lives by focusing on the building blocks for a good life: expanding education, growing financial stability, 提供住房, and improving health.

You have the option to direct your gift to the 统一的方式 or Northwest Ohio Community Shares agency of your choice. 统一的方式 also offers you the opportunity to write-in any local, health and human service non-profit agency that does not appear in the printed options.

On behalf of President Rodney Rogers, the President’s Cabinet, and the various employee leadership groups on campus, I thank you in advance for your willingness to support our efforts to assist the many adults, 孩子们, and others who rely so heavily on the good work accomplished by 统一的方式 and Northwest Ohio Community Shares.

真诚地,
