The United Way can make a difference in the lives of many in the St. Louis region, but it needs help from the WUSTL community.
Washington University continues to accept donations to the annual United Way of Greater St. Louis campaign, which began Sept. 2. The University’s goal for this year’s drive is $600,000, and those who have not yet donated are encouraged to do so as soon as possible.
The University offers employees two ways to contribute: via pledge cards, which were sent through campus mail in September, and online using the HRMS system.
WUSTL faculty and staff members who would like a second or replacement pledge card should contact Lisa Caress at 935-6087 or caresslisa@wustl.edu.
Faculty and staff members who prefer to make a pledge online can visit hr.wustl.edu and click on HRMS Self Service. Click on Employee Self Service and select United Way Pledges. For assistance with passwords, call the Help Desk at 935-5707.
The University encourages employees to contribute using a payroll deduction but also will accept donations via cash, check and credit card.
“At least 90 cents of every dollar donated is used to help fund agencies that provide a variety of support and services to nearly 1 million people in our region, from basic needs to specialized care,” said Ann B. Prenatt, vice chancellor for human resources.
“Contributing to the University’s United Way campaign is an easy, efficient way to contribute to the strength and health of our community,” Prenatt said.
