United Way of Will County is gathering information on residents that need assistance.
In order to assess the opportunities to help, we are actively working with community-based partners on identifying their needs. Currently, we have a survey gathering the in-kind needs, unforeseen hardships, and changes to hours of operations or programs for local organizations. Initial findings are consistent:
- 65% report financial needs to assist with operations and programs due to increased cleaning/sanitizing costs and/or cancellation of fundraising events.
- 70% report a critical lack of cleaning, sanitizing and proper Personal Protection Equipment including masks and gloves.
- Organizations that rely on volunteer support are experiencing volunteer shortages.
- https://uwwill.galaxydigital.c... is currently equipped with an on-going list of in-kind donations needed, as well as a link for volunteers to give their time.

With the surge in unforeseen needs, it is critical that these organizations have the resources they need to continue to operate at the highest capacity. A donation to the Will County COVID-19 Response Fund will support the agencies that are ensuring our neighbors can access basic needs in this time of crisis.
