Welcome to Harvey County United Way
Help Others

What did you do in 2007 to help others?

The holiday season gives us all an opportunity to reflect on the past year. To the millions of people who have touched the lives of those in need through volunteer work, we applaud your efforts. For those who may be considering becoming a volunteer, we encourage you to do so. And for the millions who have donated to United Way or other worthwhile charities this year, we say Thank you. Because of your generosity, our work will continue into 2007. Join us in the journey...

Why invest in Harvey's early learning
  • Approximately 80% of a child’s brain develops in the first five years of life.
  • Kindergarten teachers estimate that 1 in 3 kids enter kindergarten unprepared for school. When children start school behind, they usually stay behind.
  • 26.07% of 5th graders scored basic or unsatisfactory on reading proficiency tests over the last 5 years in Harvey County.

Head Start, Early Head Start and Pre-Kindergarten programs fight this, but. . .

  • Harvey county has no Early Head Start.
  • Head Start’s had a steady decline of slots. In 2005, 76.9 slots per 100 kids were offered – in 2006, 64.8 slots per 100 kids.

Helping is as simple as talking

to your legislators, friends, and family.
