United Way & Community Chest has announced how much of the record $58.1 million 1999 campaign will be allocated.
There are four major areas, and agencies that focus on the needs of children receive the largest amount, said Carol Aquino, vice president of communications.
The areas are:
• Support and improve children's lives, $14,620,171.
• Building independence for families, older adults and people with disabilities, $12,757,276.
• Helping people stay healthy, $7,965,464.
• Bringing new life to neighborhoods and communities, $5,229,450.
The campaign raised $4 million more in 1999 than 1998, and more than half of it will go to children.
“We are meeting our commitment to invest at least 51 percent in services that will help children thrive,” said David R. Walker, volunteer vice chairman for community building at the Community Chest.
The Every Child Succeeds home visitation program that pairs nurses or social workers with at-risk mothers received $750,000 for the first six months of this year. More funding for the program will be announced in April, Ms. Aquino said.
The local United Way provides money for programs that reach one in three people and are operated by 170 social service agencies in seven counties — Hamilton, Clermont, Brown and part of Butler counties in Ohio; and Boone, Campbell and Kenton counties in Northern Kentucky
