Message From The President

Americans’ compassion and concern for one another is a large part of what makes our Nation unique.

The mission of the United Way of Bloomfield and its volunteers remain committed to promoting the well-being of those in need who live and work in Bloomfield. Our United Way agencies’ programs touch everyone from infants to senior citizens.

Today your neighbor may be healthy, physically and mentally but what about tomorrow? Tragedy strikes quickly and unexpectedly. There are many of your neighbors living within Bloomfield, who have experienced such reversals. We all need help from time to time.

Fortunately there are a number of programs that provide assistance with a variety of health and human services.

The need for basic human services has reached an unparalleled level. The unemployed, homebound seniors, victims of domestic violence, youth at risk, food banks, and the homelessness, cannot keep up with needs and demand. Our priorities are meeting basic needs and responding with services that help our neighbors in crisis.

Men, women and children of all races and creed are given something unforgettable when you give to the United Way. Once a year we ask for your support. Our primary interest is “People” and no one in need is excluded. Won’t you please join with us by contributing generously?

Employees can use the convenient payroll deduction plan. Firms, small businesses and individuals can “pledge” now and we will bill you in 2006.

On behalf of the United Way of Bloomfield and those that received your help “Thank You” for your support yesterday, today and tomorrow.

Sincerely yours

Vincent S. Rospond

President & CVO
