Happy first day of summer! The HoME UW office will be closed on Fridays from now until Labor Day ☀ A healthy work/life balance is very important to us here at the United Way. To ensure our staff can spend time with their friends and family this summer, we are closing our office on Fridays. This does not mean we won't have folks working either in the office or remotely, but rather that we won't necessarily have full office coverage on Fridays. We wish you a safe and fun summer!
