With her grocery purchases being bagged at the Wegmans checkout by volunteers participating in an October United Way promotion a shopper asked, “I used to give at work through payroll deduction, but now that I’m retired no one has asked and I didn’t know how to go about contributing.” Given the options available to her, a few weeks later the retiree stopped by the Lycoming County United Way office at 1225 Clayton Ave. with a gift to this year’s campaign. A short time ago, a letter to the editor in the Sun-Gazette asked the same question. “I contributed to United Way annually through the Williamsport Area School District. However, when the campaign began this fall I wondered where I could contribute since I am now retired and don’t remember ever being asked to join the residential campaign. As United Way looks for more donors, they may want to check if retired teachers are being contacted because these donations are too important to miss. Our kids are counting on them.
