On Monday, July 20th, United Ways from across Michigan launched the United We Will Campaign. Since the onset of the COVID-19 Pandemic, Michigan United Ways have showed up every day to help solve our communities' toughest problems – from food insecurity, housing, education to disaster relief, and connecting Michigan families to 2-1-1. I had the opportunity to sit down with several United Ways and listen to stories of their local work and I’m thrilled to share those with you through these Friday Five minisodes. 

In this episode, I'm joined by Ken Toll, President and CEO at the United Way of Jackson County, to talk about the work they did to stand up additional homeless shelters in Jackson County, and their work to support vulnerable women and children. Learn more about their work at www.unitedwewillmi.org
