The United Way of Livingston County is kicking off its campaign September 17.

This annual drive collects donations for the United Way, which helps more than 15 local agencies. Deb Howard, executive director of the United Way of Livingston County, said every dollar donated makes a difference.

“We don’t look for just big donations – we look for every donation. A dollar a week or 52 dollars a year will feed 20 families a spaghetti dinner. That’s 20 different dinners for that $52, so every dollar matters,” said Howard.

The Campaign Kick-off Breakfast will be that morning at the Pontiac Elks Lodge, with special guest speaker Butch Cotter.
