Page 2 Thanks to all volunteers who rang the bells 

for United Way! With  the  help  of  many  dedicated  individuals  and  organiza�ons,  the  holiday  campaign  raised 

nearly  $30,000.  Volunteers  signed  up  to  ring  bells  at  five  loca�ons  throughout  St.  Francois 

County—Walmart and  JC Penney  in Farmington, Big  Lots  in Leadington, Country Mart  in Park 

Hills, and Mike’s Market in Bismarck. Many thanks to every volunteer who rang the bell, every 

group  that organized mul�ple  ringers, every donor who contributed, and every business  that 

hosted a wishing well at its retail loca�on. We could not do this without all of your help!

Ozarks Federal Savings and Loan recently presented a check to United Way 

of St. Francois County. The bank is one of the many businesses that choose 

to  support  United  Way  each  year.  The  United  Way  of  St.  Francois  County 

thanks  all  those  community-minded  business  owners  and  managers  who 

supported  the  organiza�on  in  2014,  either  through  a  direct  dona�on,          

offering  payroll  deduc�on  to  employees,  a  fundraiser,  giving  employees 

�me to ring the bell for United Way during the holiday season, or any other 

form of support.  In addi�on, the United Way thanks those businesses that 

welcomed  us  to  make  a  presenta�on  to  employees  during  the  year.                

Pictured at right is Shelley Tate and Dennis McIntosh of Ozarks Federal and 

Anna Kleiner and Kerry Glore of United Way.   

 

In Decermber, Belgrade State Bank presented a check to United Way of St.      

Francois County. Belgrade is one of many local banks that support United Way 

each year.  Pictured at le� are staff members of Belgrade State Bank in             

Farmington presen�ng the check to Anna Kleiner of United Way.   

  

Along with businesses, nonprofit service organiza�ons in our area 

also donate funds and/or volunteer hours, such as through bell     

ringing. The Rotary Club recently donated $1,000 to United Way in

as a gi� to United Way. They can choose to give every month, or as o�en as they like. The 

money  goes  toward  the  grants  the  United  Way  Board  of  Directors  pledges  to  award  to 

agencies  in St. Francois County. Your gi� in 2015 will help the agencies funded by United
