We all have a stake in creating a healthy, prosperous community and GE has found a way for us all to work with them to generate funds for United Way. At the online GE Appliance Outlet Store, customers can Live United, as GE will donate two percent of appliance sales from the online GE Appliance Outlet Store to United Way. So with every purchase of a new home appliance — be it a refrigerator, dishwasher, range, washer or dryer — you’ll get a new appliance at a discount price and help advance the common good.
For more than 40 years, GE Foundation with GE employees and retirees have supported United Way by giving. They are a Global Corporate Leader with total giving in 2010 of nearly $28 million. But their investment isn’t just a financial one. GE employees and retirees also volunteer and advocate, strengthening the building blocks of a better life for all. Around the country they have worked to improve the areas of education, income and health by building playgrounds, renovating homeless shelters, mentoring youth, and much more. United Way is grateful for GE’s continued commitment to make progress toward our goals. We can’t accomplish them alone and rely on the support of everyone to get things done.
