There are many ways to give. For some it is a financial gift, for others volunteering or a random act of kindness. Andrea, United Way of Greater Mercer County's Community Benefits Enroller, is present across the Mercer community ready to serve anyone. She sees the reality of individuals struggling to make ends meet. When Andrea was approached for financial help by a Trenton resident, she did not hesitate to give hope on a card. The card has her contact information which enabled the individual to receive assistance with applying for Federal Benefits like SNAP (food stamps) and health insurance. The Trenton resident was eligible for benefits. Now this resident can move closer to being financially independent. This giving season, consider the potential of what YOU can give!

2: Allocating funds? Instead of allocating 100% of your donation to one charity perhaps you can split your donation to two or even three charities. This will allow you to have a greater impact on the  issues you care about!
