"Kent and Portage County have become my home and my community. I appreciate being able to give to United Way because I know the resources will be used right here, at home, to make the lives of people in my community better by providing services like food for the hungry, books for little children just learning to read, helping people with their taxes and prescription needs, and providing a 2-1-1 information line to call when someone doesn’t know where to reach out (among many other things).
