The News Tribune's "A Christmas Wish" series will showcase community members whose lives have been enriched by the work of United Way of Central Missouri partner agencies and donors.
For many charitable organizations, the holidays, like the rest of the year, are a time to connect people in need to solutions to some of life's toughest problems. The News Tribune's "A Christmas Wish" series will showcase community members whose lives have been enriched by the work of United Way of Central Missouri partner agencies and donors.

In order to be tax-deductible, checks must be made payable to the United Way of Central Missouri and the United Way must retain the right to specifically determine whom the donation will benefit.

The United Way will establish an "A Christmas Wish" fund, and donors can give a gift "in the name of" someone specific or a United Way partner agency.

A volunteer committee will oversee the distribution of these funds. If you want to help fill a Christmas wish in Mid-Missouri, mail checks to United Way of Central Missouri, 205 Alameda Drive, Jefferson City Mo., 65109. "News Tribune Christmas Wish Fund" should be noted on the memo line of the check.

The agency's most recent audit shared with the United Way is available to view with the online version of each agency's article at newstribune.com.

Questions may be directed to Ann Bax, president of United Way of Central Missouri, at 573-636-4100 or [email protected].
