Chapel Hill-Carrboro City Schools kicked off the district’s annual United Way Campaign on Monday, setting a goal to raise $50,000 to support various service agencies throughout the Triangle.
Superintendent Neil Pedersen encouraged the participation of employees, noting that small contributions from all staff members can have a large impact on community agencies that are feeling increased demands for services during the recession. Susan Worley of Volunteers for Youth spoke at the event about the impact her organization has on young people in the community.
The campaign ends on Oct. 29.
