United Way of Dubuque Area Tri-States is hosting its annual campaign kick-off breakfast, sponsored by the Diamond Jo Casino. The event is open to the public and will take place in 2024 at the Diamond Jo Casino – Harbor Room. Community leaders are excited to spearhead efforts in engaging the community in supporting United Way, which helped impact nearly 50,000 local lives last year.
“We have made a promise to bring our community together to prevent and reduce poverty on a scale no one can accomplish alone in our priority areas of health, education and financial stability. Change doesn’t happen in isolation, and this kick-off is one way to encourage everyone to get engaged in creating change to improve our community. Everyone plays a vital role in helping our communities succeed, including our funded partners, our business partnerships, and our volunteers,” said Danielle Leibfried, President and CEO of United Way.
United Way of Dubuque Area Tri-States serves a 10-county service area covering parts of Iowa, Illinois and Wisconsin. This year, they will work in conjunction with 33 funded partner organizations as well as many other community investments to achieve community-wide outcomes and move the needle on poverty. Examples of issues impacted through United Way are brain health, employment, food scarcity, homelessness, childcare, disaster services and more.
