United Way warns of $5 million shortfall amid recession
United Way officials warn the 1992 Crusade of Mercy drive may fall as much as $5 million short of last year’s $105.5 million total, risking cuts to 450 agencies serving over 2.2 million people in 1991. A 5 percent funding reduction could endanger homelessness, infant wellness, domestic violence, and home health care services, officials say. W H Clark, Nalco chair, urges public support before campaign end.
