There will be an adjustment for the annual United Way campaigns in Geary County going forward in the future.

United Way Director Nicole Mahder said when she was first hired in 2016 she agreed to take the position on a part-time basis. “With being part-time we’re finding that it’s going to be a little bit better for us to run the campaign from August until the first part of June. That way if it’s not convenient for them ( a business ) to do an internal campaign in October or November, maybe it’s more convenient for them to do a workplace campaign in February or March.”

Mahder added they want to try and work with the community and their supporters. and that will allow them to accommodate those supporters and agencies.

Fundraising for the current United Way campaign will continue until June.
