United Good Neighbors Turns 50!

UGN was founded to help the disadvantaged of Jefferson County in 1957. It was intended to provide support for four programs that fed and clothed people in need.

Last year in Jefferson County:

• 300 women and children sought escape from abuse at UGN-supported programs.
• 1800 children used local UGN-supported food banks.
• 110 homeless people found a safe place to sleep at UGN-supported shelters.
• 135 children found a mentor through UGN-supported Big Brothers/Big Sisters.
• 6,000-plus meals were delivered through the UGN-supported Meals-on-Wheels.
• 160 children visited UGN-supported Children's Hospital.
• 400 children used UGN-funded centers, camps and programs.

We are a better community, when neighbor helps neighbor. We are a better society, when we see a need and choose to help. UGN supports local people through hard times. Participation from more households is a key to helping our neighbors in need. Every donation is important. Help us help them.

Key City Players' WordPlay Supports UGN!

United Good Neighbors Legacy Fund allows caring individuals a way to strengthen local nonprofit agencies and give to their neighbors in need, in perpetuity. Monies donated to the Fund stay in the Fund; only its earnings are distributed.

Prior to this, no vehicle existed for those who wanted to leave a lasting legacy to UGN without creating their own family or business foundation. The Fund allows for ease of giving, while maintaining the same tax benefits afforded to all UGN supporters.
