19 Agencies to Benefit from 2022-2023 United Way Campaign

19 people-helping agencies will receive funding from the 2022-2023 United Way of Effingham County campaign.

United Way is welcoming one new agency, Family Mental Health Support, formerly NAMI. United Way of Effingham County Chief Professional Officer Linda Hemmen said three agencies that received funds last year abstained from submitting a request this year, as they felt they could support their programs without assistance from United Way this year.

The complete list of agencies that will receive funding from 22-23 campaign include Altamont After School Program, Big Brothers-Big Sisters of Mid Illinois, Boy Scouts Greater St. Louis Area Council, Catholic Charities, Child Advocacy Center of East Central Illinois, Effingham Child Development Center, Effingham County FISH Human Services, Effingham County Search and Rescue, Enduring Freedom Ministries, Family Mental Health Support, Girl Scouts of Southern Illinois, Heartland Human Services, Meals on Wheels of CEFS, One Hope United, SAFE (Sexual Assault and Family Emergencies), Senior Services of Effingham County, STAR (Strategic Training and Restoration), SWAN (Stopping Woman Abuse Now), and the Unit 40 Mentoring Program.

The United Way of Effingham County Grants Committee, comprised of 17 members, selected agencies to receive funding based on the recognized needs assessment for Effingham County.
