“The key is to help everybody in Beaver County, as many people as we can, [and] to keep the standard of living to where it’s very affordable and palatable for those that need help.”

Those words reflect the mission of the United Way of Beaver County, of which Mike Rubino is the director. Rubino spoke those words to Matt Drzik on A.M. Beaver County on February 24, as he came in to talk about the United Way of BC’s “Matching Donation” campaign that runs until May.

As Rubino explained, the goal is to match a mark of $100,000 to anticipate a drop-off in donations as the COVID-19 pandemic slows and certain employers continue to struggle with employment. New donors will have their donations matched, and former donors who donate higher amounts than previously donated will have their added amounts matched. The money will go to multiple charities under the United Way of BC’s umbrella, that range from helping out the youth (YMCA) to senior citizens (Meals On Wheels).
