Colleges throughout Maricopa Community College District have been enthusiastic in their support for United Way 2000. From collecting food to washing cars, from writing a personal check to personally volunteering to help with a myriad of activities, college and district employees and their families are giving “Hope a Hand.”

All of our colleges have created an abundance of activities in support of United Way. An enthusiastic group of about 90 from EMCC assembled 8,970 bags of food in the college’s “Day of Caring” event on Saturday, September 23. Volunteers held a car wash, sold hot dogs, sodas, raffle tickets and raised funds. At the end of the day, volunteers contributed towards raising a grand total of $2,633.90 to “Hope’s Closet.”
Estrella Mountain’s success is only one of the many stories of how Maricopa employees and colleges have reached out to help in this year’s United Way Campaign.
