Who pays for campaign meeting meals?
Local companies have donated money to be used specifically for meetings and luncheons. This donation is in addition to their corporate contributions. United Way is run by volunteers, people who usually have careers in addition to their United Way commitment. Noon is often the most convenient hour for these people to take time from their job. That’s why so many United Way meetings are scheduled around the lunch hour. By providing a meal, corporate meeting sponsors are saying thanks to the many people who volunteer their time and talent on behalf of United Way.
