T-Shirt Fundraiser
COVID-19 has forced employers to make difficult decisions, creating an entirely new demographic: people who are newly in-need, out of work, taking care of loved ones.. with no idea where to turn.
Suddenly, thousands more people are struggling to meet their basic needs for food, shelter, and health care. Because children have spent less time in the classroom, many are at higher risk of falling behind. And as the economy remains in recession, a staggering number of people still lack stable jobs.
When you buy a t-shirt from United Way of the Midlands, the proceeds from your purchase will be invested in basic needs programs that are providing food, shelter and more for people in need right here in our community. By helping our neighbors meet their basic needs, you help them get on their feet and start down the path to stability during difficult times like these.
- Multiple color options are available. Sizes up to 5XL.
- Orders will be placed together on the 1st and 15th of each month. Delivery will be 7-10 days after the according date.
- Employees will record their company while checking out, so your campaign will receive credit for their purchase.
