The Chatham-Kent United Way is heading into the home stretch of its 2019 campaign.

Officials say with just two weeks left, they are just a few percentage points away from the goal of $1.5 million.

The funding supports close to 20 programs and services, helping more than 40,000 people in the Chatham-Kent area.

Donations can be made online or in person at the United Way office at 425 McNaughton Avenue in Chatham.

The agency will officially wrap up the campaign with a celebration on January 16th.
