My Nonprofit Reviews

My organization has been collaborative partners with United Way of LaPorte County for the last 25 years. They are far more than funding partners, we also work with UWLC on a number of projects, including but not limited to my organizations Food Rescue Initiative. For the past three years, in response to basic needs created by COVID, United Way has submitted grant applications and has received awards to sponsor mobile food distribution events, which our organization facilitates the event. With our organization alone, UWLC funds our family emergency homeless shelter, our day resource center for homeless individuals, our learning center and food rescue. Kris Pate (President and CEO) and her talented and dedicated team of professionals (Dave Sisk, Director of Corporate Engagement), Ellen Meihofer (Director of Community Engagement) and Marisa Chaples (Community Impact & System of Care Coordinator) are involved and invested in making LaPorte County a better place to live. Our organization and the community in general owe a debt of gratitude to this team for everything they do at the highest professional level.

UWLC works with multiple organization creating strategic plans for improving our county and our standards of living. Whether front and center or behind the scenes, UWLC is a cornerstone of so many life changing programs and a true pillar of LaPorte County.
