This week... our Terry Frank gets an update on the current United Way of Chautauqua County General Campaign from Director Amy Rohler. The annual effort... which has a 2025 goal of 1.7-million has been underway for just over a month... and, has already taken off under Co-Chairpersons Andy and Lisa Goodell. Rohler says they both have strengths that can aid the campaign greatly, and, with Andy Goodell now retired as a State Assemblyman, he can devote the time to the effort. Rohler says they have already made a large number of in-person, workplace presentations about the United Way... it's member agencies... and, their "community impact." She says that's a big part of what they try to do with their allocations process. This past year... she says that total impact totaled just over 1.48-million. She says about 15% of the money raised is used for local administrative costs. The funding also benefits the United Way's own programs... including their 2-1-1 referral service... and Volunteer Income Tax Assistance program that allows lower income residents to have their income taxes for free. To learn more about the campaign... you can call the United Way at 483-1561.
