We are incredibly grateful for the support we receive from the Breast Cancer Fund of Ohio! 💕

In 2026 alone, United Way of Sandusky County assisted 31 local breast cancer patients, providing more than $9,000 in financial assistance to help ease the burden of a cancer diagnosis.

This impact would not be possible without the generosity of our donors, community fundraisers, and grant partners like the Breast Cancer Fund of Ohio. Your support helps ensure that local residents facing breast cancer have access to financial assistance when they need it most.

In honor of Breast Cancer Awareness Month, we extend a heartfelt thank you to the Breast Cancer Fund of Ohio for helping us make a difference in the lives of our neighbors. 💗

📚✨ 9/25 Day was a huge success!

Thanks to the generosity of our community, we raised nearly $6,200 for the Dolly Parton Imagination Library of Sandusky County through donation drives at Fremont City Schools, Gibsonburg Schools, Ideal Bakery, and Mickey's Stores❤️📖

Every dollar helps provide local children with a free, age-appropriate book delivered to their home each month.

A huge THANK YOU to everyone who donated and to our incredible community partners who helped make this possible!

Together, we’re putting more books in more hands—one book at a time. 💙📚

At our Annual Awards & Community Campaign Kickoff, we were proud to recognize Style Crest with the Friends of United Way Award for their outstanding support and commitment to United Way of Sandusky County and our community.

Unfortunately, the Style Crest team was unable to join us for the celebration, so our President & CEO, Kim Partin, made a special trip to deliver their well-deserved award in person! 👏

We are grateful for the continued support of organizations like StyleCrest and the difference they help make throughout our community.

Congratulations, StyleCrest, and thank you for being a Friend of United Way! 💙

Today, we celebrated Lunch for Lulu at Wendt Key Team Realty, enjoyed special Dolly Parton-themed donuts from Ideal Bakery, and were reminded of the many ways our community comes together to support local causes.
