We will be kicking off the campaign with a Hybrid Lunch & Learn on Tuesday, Oct. 11 from 12:15 p.m. - 12:45 p.m. You should have received a calendar invite in Outlook. Join us in the Harford Room or virtually via Teams to learn more about the campaign and the important work United Way is doing in our communities.

COMPANY NEWS

VPN Changes Ahead


IT will soon be announcing changes that will make Harford Mutual's cyber network more secure.


Details regarding adding VPN two-factor authentication will be released later this month. This additional layer should help to validate the user identity, thus ensuring that a person is unable to access the network using compromised credentials.


Be on the lookout for more details in the coming weeks!

COMMUNITY CONNECTION

Harford Family House

Off The Streets

Fri., October 28

Ripken Stadium


October is Homelessness Awareness Month, and our community partner Harford Family House will be holding Off the Streets - a sleep out in support of our neighbors experiencing homelessness at Ripken Stadium on October 28. 


Participants are encouraged to gather friends, family, colleagues, churches, youth groups, and organizations to sleep on Leidos Field for one night. Funds and awareness raised will help Harford Family House and its mission to assist families with children and individuals experiencing homelessness achieve independence. If you can't make it to the event, but still want to make an impact on homelessness in Harford County, you can donate $30 to support someone experiencing homelessness for one night.


If you have any questions, please reach out to Donna Stein or Brittany Stein, who are both members of the Off The Streets planning committee. LEARN MORE
