United Way Campaign
Since the mission of United Way is similar to Sanford's and their efforts make such an important contribution to the lives of people in the communities we serve, it is the only agency, other than the Sanford Foundation, that Sanford supports through system-wide fundraising. In 2004, Sanford received the Frederick W. Donath Campaign Award of Excellence, the United Way's highest honor.
In addition to their contributions, Sanford associates also donate time to two community service projects sponsored by United Way:
- Community school supply drive, packing donated supplies into backpacks in preparation for distribution to area children in need.
- Day of Caring, an event developed to engage community businesses and their employees in local volunteer opportunities with area senior citizens who need the help and companionship for a day.
