The Crisis Line of Will and Grundy Counties will shut down on November 30, 2020 after 44 years of helping countless residents address physical, safety, and health needs.
The Board has hired Executive Search partner KEES, who will handle the entire search process. They have designed a confidential survey to gain perspective from multiple members of the community and we would like your input.
United Way of Will County announced that Will County residents have saved over $4,000,000 on their prescription medications, thanks to its partnership with FamilyWize, an organization focused on improving the health and well-being of individuals, families and communities.
It is with mixed emotions that we share an announcement this morning. 31 years ago, Mike Hennessy became the President & CEO of our United Way of Will County.
Over the decades, there is little he has not witnessed, overcame, or achieved: three business-model evolutions, highest revenue on record, community-solution incubators, devastating tornadoes, home explosions, and even now, a global pandemic. When faced with crisis or adversity, he did so with tact and grace and never lost sight of what was most important – our community, our partners and the very people we serve.
