October 6, 2022 (Kenosha, WI) – United Way of Kenosha County announces an open call for Community Gift Award applications. The community gift program is funded through the annual Community Campaign.

Community Gift Awards will be made in amounts ranging from $250 to $500. Applications will be reviewed by the United Way’s Community Investment Committee. Decisions will be announced in December 2022.
