United Way of Lancaster County (UWLC) will launch Share OUR Stimulus, a fund for stimulus check donations to be distributed to individuals who have experienced setbacks due to COVID-19. Inspired by the national campaign Share the Stimulus, UWLC will facilitate donations to be given as a one-time gift to people who apply for assistance through http://www.uwlanc.org/stimulus. Readers may visit the aforementioned website to donate all or part of their stimulus check.

Those who make more than the stimulus threshold are also encouraged to give, as are organizations such as UWLC's Catalyst Sponsors, including Lancaster County Community Foundation and Central Pennsylvania Food Bank which have each donated $10,000; M&T Bank which has contributed $7,500; and High Foundation which donated $5,000. In addition, Oaktree Outdoor Advertising is pledging to assist in promoting the fund through free billboard support.

Whether someone received a stimulus check or not, he or she can support neighbors who are struggling to cover expenses not eligible for targeted support. For example, a young mother can receive WIC to help purchase baby formula, but diapers are disqualified.
