Toast to a New Year and New Connections with United Way of Metro Chicago’s Women United! Join us Tuesday, January 27 for connection and conversation over beverages and light bites as we welcome the year ahead and learn more about United Way’s work. Come connect with purpose and community.
Women United is also hosting a donation drive to support our community partner, Gads Hill Center, a youth education and family resource organization that empowers Chicago’s working families through education, access to essential resources, and strong community engagement.
