The Northwoods United Way, Inc. and Expera Specialty Solutions-Rhinelander mill are pleased to announce their continued partnership, along with a 2017 pledge donation to the United Way campaign.   Members of USW Locals 2-15 and 2-1778 along with non-union employees and Expera Specialty Solutions have pledged $33,655 to benefit programs in the community.

“This donation will help the Northwoods United Way fund agencies in Oneida, Forest and Vilas counties,” said Nancy Sattler, executive director for Northwoods United Way.  “Expera Specialty Solutions and its employees have been a long-term partner of the United Way, and we are very grateful to accept their donation. There continues to be needs in our area for basic supplies, crisis intervention, family resources, referral services, and health and healing assistance. This gift will help support the agencies that provide this programming.”

The Northwoods United Way, Inc. is a locally-directed organization, working to improve lives in Forest, Oneida and Vilas Counties by mobilizing community resources and strategically investing in human service programs.

“We are getting close to wrapping up our 2017 pledge campaign, and this donation from the employees at Expera Specialty Solutions will go a long way in getting us closer to achieving our goal,” Sattler added. “We still need the community’s support in order to meet our goal for 2017.”
