WITH YOUR HELP.....
United Way of Long Island would like to put shirts on the backs of 1,000 Long Island Veteran Heroes
We are grateful for your unwavering support of local veterans. This past year has changed our lives and Long Island. But we cannot forget our veterans. We know many of you are unable to hold in person meetings with field staff, making a t-shirt campaign impossible.
This year, your contribution will provide Mission United T-Shirts to our local heroes:
$25 provides 1 T-shirt to a veteran
$375 provides 20 T-shirts to veterans
$750 provides 50 T-shirts to veterans
Items will be delivered to veterans from May 24 - June 14

About Mission United
Mission United is a critical funding source for programs of United Way of Long Island supporting U.S. military veterans and their families on Long Island as they re-acclimate to civilian life. Funding helps provide services and resources in job training, employment assistance and emergency financial aid.
Through Mission United, United Way of Long Island is aligning existing services and creating solutions where there are gaps in support. The need for these services is particularly significant on Long Island as we have more than 95,000 veterans living in our communities. In the wake of the COVID-19 outbreak, a significant portion of veterans are seniors who have become isolated and especially vulnerable; in addition nearly 2,000 veterans are attending colleges, but many have young families and are struggling to get by
