WASHINGTON, March 20, 2020 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ - The United Way of the National Capital Area (United Way NCA) today launched a Text to Give option for the community to easily donate to its Emergency Assistance Fund (EAF) that supports the health, education and financial stability of DC-area residents during the impact of the Coronavirus (COVID-19).

Text to Give encourages individuals and their networks to text UNITED20 to 41444 and follow the process to make a donation to the EAF.

"Here in DC and the surrounding areas, we are fortunate to have many individuals and networks willing to volunteer their time during emergency situations," said Rosie Allen-Herring, president and CEO, United Way of the National Capital Area.
