The United Way of the Mark Twain Area’s annual fund raising campaign is in the home stretch.

Back in September, the United Way set a goal of $425,000 for its 2020-21 Be a Hero campaign. Officials say they are within $40,000 of reaching that goal.

To get to their goal, the United Way board of directors has launched a special 40 Days for $40,000 campaign.

Money raised during the annual campaign goes to help a number of non-profit organizations in northeast Missouri provide services for their communities.

If you’d like to help put the United Way campaign over the top, you can mail your donation to PO Box 81 Hannibal 63401, donate online at united way mta dot org or text UWMTA to 26989.
