Foster said the agencies are funded by the United Way on three-year timelines. She said if the donations don't come through the United Way would have to take another look at the allocations and may have to reduce funding to some agencies. Linda Clark, United Way of Halton Hills campaign chairperson. said one in three residents of Halton Hills uses services provided through United Way funded agencies. Foster said traditionally about 40 per cent of donations for the United Way of Halton Hills come through workplace pledges. She said while donations from local residents who donate through their workplaces in Toronto are up, designations are down from workplaces in Peel and Halton. The United Way direct mail campaign is also down by about seven per cent, she added. "It's certainly showing us the recession is not over, people are still struggling," said Foster. "We would appreciate the local community (businesses and individuals) rallying," she said. "We appreciate there is a lot of fundraising going on in the community. Our mandate is to fund local social service programs." She said while donations are down to the United Way, perhaps because of the lingering recession, ironically when people are going through hard times they rely more on social services. But Foster said there's lots of good news in the campaign as well. United Way campaigns at all three LCBOs in town held in the fall was up by nearly $5,000 from the previous year, bringing in $19,582. "LCBOs are very big supporters of the United Way. It really, really makes a big difference," said Foster. She said each year the campaign has a lot of repeat donors, and also a lot of new ones. "I know we're close to our goal," said Clark. "The community has been so good to us in the past. We are supporting 27 programs and all of the dollars are used in Halton Hills." Anyone interested in making a donation to the campaign is asked to do so as soon as possible by calling the United Way office at 905-877-3066, or by visiting www.unitedway.ca and choosing United Way of Halton Hills or sending a cheque to United Way of Halton Hills, P.O.
