United Way of Dane County kicks off community fundraisers, supports those in need

MADISON (WKOW) — United Way of Dane County kicked-off its community campaign at Breese Stevens Field Wednesday and it was a full circle moment for some.

The event celebrates United Way and the work it does in the community. It’s also where people are able to learn how to get involved.

Renee Moe, the President and CEO of United Way of Dane County, said this years volunteer project was gathering paper products for those who need them.

“One of the things we love to do at United Way is educate the community and I don’t think a lot of people know that if you’re living in poverty and getting some assistance, you don’t necessarily have funds for paper products,” Moe said.

But Moe said the meaning of Wednesday’s event goes beyond just that.
