This year UWNS received a surprise gift. A North Shore resident left a bequest to the United Way. Bequests, annuities, property and memorials have all found their way to the United Way over the past 75 years. Gifts such as these can make a big difference in the lives of many. In some cases they may provide the seed money for an impactful project idea from a new agency; they might cover a temporary shortfall for a current agency or they might be added to our endowment fund for that ‘rainy day’ we all hear about. If this idea is of interest to you or your family, contact United Way North Shore 847-999-2990. You talk and we’ll listen.
