Save the date and join us Sept. 3 during Food Truck Wednesday as we launch Kent State’s United Way of Portage County Workplace Campaign. After more than 40 years of support, UWPC will no longer receive funding from the Federal Emergency Food and Shelter Program. These critical funds have helped provide housing, utility assistance, and food support to some of the most vulnerable individuals and families in Portage County, including our own Â鶹¾«Ñ¡community members. Together, we can step up and help bridge the gap. Your support during this campaign is more important than ever.
