United Way works closely with local organizations and the immigrant population. Its goals are to mobilize the community and provide the resources needed for effective assimilation and long-term success. Donations will be distributed through Springfield’s social services.
In a press conference on Tuesday, DeWine highlighted the need for translation services as well as infant and child healthcare . DeWine recently pledged $2.5 million in funding over the next two years to support Springfield’s infrastructure.
There are two ways to contribute: submit a donation online or text “unityfund” to 53-555.
