This year the Truman campus United Way fund drive kicked-off with a workshop for group leaders. Leaders are contacting Truman employees to give them the opportunity to contribute toward the support of any one or all of the 13 local agencies served by the Adair County United Way. Truman employees may contribute by using payroll deduction. A pledge of $104 gives each Truman employee a chance to win one of five packages valued at $400 each.
The campus community of faculty, staff and students will be working together throughout the month of October to reach this year’s Truman goal of $52,000. Truman has collected a total of $17,912.10 so far, which is 34 percent of the goal.
