‘Give Jefferson’ | Annual United Good Neighbors

The need is now. The answer is us!

Join us Friday, November 28th at Finnriver to harvest community generosity and encourage participation in Give Jefferson— a critical campaign to support local basic human needs.

The annual United Good Neighbors (UGN) ‘Give Jefferson’ campaign is a community wide effort to support neighbors in need.

This year’s campaign is also a community response to budget cut impacts.

On Friday 11/28, the ‘Give Jefferson’ headquarters will be popping up in the Finnriver Haybarn Parlor from noon–7pm with all the information you need to learn and participate in the campaign. A community weaving project will also be available for everyone to contribute to during the event.

Or learn more and give now!

The Give Jefferson catalog is open at givejefferson.org!

This year, all participating organizations have been impacted by recent funding cuts. The goal of Give Jefferson 2025 is to give the residents of Jefferson County the opportunity to “fill the gap”, ensuring that everyone has access to services and support to meet their basic needs.

Significant cuts from the federal and state budgets have the potential to erode the strength of the local nonprofits and community-serving government agencies dedicated to serving those in our community who need the most support. Locally the budget cuts have impacted:

❤️ Food supplies for low income seniors
❤️ School based health clinics
❤️ Mental health and foster support for youth

But our community has a superpower: generosity! Local nonprofits are working to fill that gap and donors like you can make that possible.

Your donations help ensure that every person who needs support in Jefferson County has ongoing access to food, shelter, medical and mental health care, financial assistance, advocacy, and education. Every penny stays local.

Now is the time for all of us to step up and Give Jefferson! The time is now. The answer is us!
