More than a million dollars still needs to be collected for the United Way of Greater St. Joseph’s Centennial Campaign with only two weeks to go.

So far, around $1.4 million has been raised towards the more than $3.1 million goal. In total the agency still needs to raise $1,708,211.

Around 100 people gathered Thursday at East Hills Shopping Center for the United Way Campaign Progress Report.  Campaign Chair, Dennis Rosonke said the funds raised go to benefit the United Way’s 18 partner agencies and 7 initiatives to help with causes in northwest Missouri and northeast Kansas.

“This is a really busy time of year and time in the campaign so I’m cautiously optimistic,” Rosonke said. “But we really do need all the folks in the community if they haven’t given to the United Way yet please help advocate for the United Way.”

The campaign kicked of Sept. 3 and will end Nov. 3.  Rosonke said there is still time for those who want to help donate.

Anyone interested in donating can call the United Way at (816) 364-2381.
