The Darke County United Way is proud to have great partners in the community to help with mailings for the current campaign, which makes up about 25% of campaign donations. This year many businesses are helping the United Way stretch allocation dollars with mailing sponsorships that allow more dollars to go to programs for the community. The United Way sends a special thank you to the Law Offices of Scott D. Rudnick, Romer’s Catering, Heartland of Greenville, and State of the Heart Hospice for their generous support of the United Way mailing campaign.
