Our volunteers spend over 9,000 hours each year to insure that your investment is making the greatest impact. These volunteers are your friends, neighbors, community leaders and business associates.

We appreciate your partnership.

Together we can do more than any one of us could ever do alone. Last year, United Way funded programs mattered 105,703 times to those in need in our community.
