Helping people in our community overcome numerous challenges is what United Way has done for over 100 years, and a mission AAA Driver Training Supervisor Jennifer Campbell has supported for as long as she can remember.

“The United Way is ideal for me to contribute to, given that it supports the local community in a variety of ways and collaborates with many organizations and is not limited to helping just one cause or one organization,” Campbell said.

Being able to support her community through the United Way is important to her, Campbell said.

“Supporting the United Way channels funds directly into the communities in which we live and work,” she said, “so knowing that I am supporting and making a difference for someone in my own area is really rewarding to me.”

United Way’s mission is to improve lives by mobilizing the caring power of communities around the world to advance the common good — fighting for the health, education, and financial stability of every person in every community.

AAA Western and Central New York’s 2022 campaign with its associates will run through the end of May.

By donating to the United Way campaign, Campbell said she knows her contribution will have a far reach.

“Even as little as a dollar per week supports so many local organizations in so many ways,” she said. “Given the recent tragic events in our own Buffalo community, the United Way is actively involved in meeting the needs of those impacted, which is one of the many examples that your contributions do matter — no matter how small.”
