Vishay Intertechnology, Inc. Joins the United Way Family

Vishay Intertechnology, Inc. of Shelton is the latest company to LIVE UNITED. The company kicked off its first Valley United Way campaign with employee meetings on November 18. Though new to Valley United Way, the company had been a long time supporter of United Way before their recent move to Shelton. Campaign Coordinators Kim Boveri and Paula Scinto welcomed Jack Walsh and Laurel Vicidomino to speak to Vishay employees about the mission of the United Way and the myriad of resources and services we support. Joining Jack and Laurel was Todd Kipperman, who spoke about Safe Homes, one of the 23 local agencies that benefit from campaign dollars.

Vishay Intertechnology, Inc. is one of the worlds’ largest manufacturers of discrete semiconductors and passive electronic components. These components are used in virtually all types of electronic devices and equipment in the industrial, computing, automotive, consumer, telecommunications, military, aerospace, and medical markets.

As an incentive, employees who pledge one dollar or more per week are eligible for a raffle drawing for one paid vacation day. They also can take advantage of the convenience of payroll deductions. Best of all, as new donors, all Vishay campaign contributions are eligible for the 2-for-1 matching grant program provided by Community Foundation of Greater New Haven and Valley Community Foundation. The Valley United Way welcomes Vishay and thanks them for their support.
