United Way of Metropolitan Atlanta says it has raised almost all of the $82 million the charitable organization set out to raise through its current fundraising campaign.
So far, the organization says it has $80.5 million toward the goal, which was announced six months ago.
The organization's new theme urges would-be donors to "live united" by showing their concern for less fortunate neighbors through cash and volunteering.
The organization recently has focused on placing homeless in supportive housing and expanding a statewide hot line for the impoverished.
