Local Business Owner, Bill Mitchell, Committed to the Naperville United Way
November 1, 2007
Naperville United Way is made up of local residents and businesses who volunteer their time, energy and support to answer the needs of our community.
One such Naperville resident is local business owner, Bill Mitchell. Bill has spent six years on the Naperville United Way Board of Directors and is an avid supporter of NUW.
Why do you give to Naperville United Way?
The biggest single reason we donate to United Way is the comprehensive local focus.
Local volunteers determine community human service needs, local agencies meeting those needs are selected and monitored by local United Way volunteers. Naperville United Way funding ensures that these services are available to Naperville area residents.
How long have you given to the Naperville United Way?
I had given to United Way off and on until the mid-’90s when we moved to Naperville.
Once we realized the local focus and quality of the programs supported, we moved our support to the leadership level were it has remained ever since. The public art project has been very important to us and I am happy to commit to supporting it in 2007.
What changes have you seen to the Naperville United Way?
The most significant change is the move to the community impact model. The community impact model means that United Way agency partners are being tested to ensure they make a positive difference in the lives of the people they serve. The United Way approach means that our contribution helps many people with various needs.
Investing in Naperville United Way helps more than one person, one charity or one issue, because we support a broad range of programs that improve lives. Naperville United Way is the most effective way to invest in our community to create positive, lasting change.
