Roseburg Forest Products…supporting the United Way
Posted on February 21, 2011 by Ron Largent
We, at the United Way of Northern California, are so fortunate to have many large corporations that believe in what we are doing and the agencies that we support.
One of our keys donors in the North State is Roseburg Forest Products. They have extensive work in the Siskiyou County area…and to get a better look at them and what they do…..please go to http://roseburg.com/cgi-bin/s-mart.pl?
We really appreciate Roseburg, as does the thousands of folks that are the recipients of their generous giving. Our hats are off to you, Roseburg.

What is 2-1-1
What is 211?
Every hour of every day, hundreds of people need essential human services in the United States, but most do not know where to turn for assistance. 2-1-1 allows people to begin to get connected and get answers to their problems.
2-1-1 is an easy to remember telephone number that connects people with important community services and volunteer opportunities. 2-1-1 is available in 78% of the United States. Both the United Way of America (UWA) and the Alliance for Information and Referral Systems (AIRS) are strongly supporting the federal legistlation that will ensure adequate funding so that every American has access
to 2-1-1 in the United States.
In Shasta County, we are just now becoming part of this nationwide effort. Working in cooperation with the United Way of Northern California based in Redding, the Shasta County office of Health and Human Relations will be the lead government agency to insure that 2-1-1 is up and running in Shasta County. Plans are now being made, and put into place, to activate the system, which will have a far reaching effect on addressing the basic emergency needs of the people of Shasta County. More to come.

News Release on United Way
United Way of Northern California Adds Butte and Glenn Counties to its Service Territory
At the request of United Way Worldwide, United Way of Northern California has added Butte and Glenn Counties to its service territory.
The announcement was made by Ron Largent, President and CEO of United Way of Northern California based in Redding, CA. The Butte and Glenn County agencies will continue to work closely with a local Butte and Glenn Board of Advisors made up of members from all communities in the counties. In addition, agencies that are not currently a partner agency with United Way are encouraged to make an application for funds in the three United Way focus-target areas: Education, Income, and Health.
“Our goals,” Largent said, “are to improve management, to enable United Way to acquire greater resources and to provide a wider range of services to a larger geographical area. We want to maximize the benefits to those we serve by addressing the basic needs of our communities in both Butte and Glenn Counties. We think this re-organization is a very good step in that direction.”
For additional information, please call the main office at 530-241-7521, e-mail ronlargent@norcalunitedway.org or visit the web site at www.norcalunitedway.org.
