As most of us are apart from our families, friends and co-workers, we are still UNITED in our commitment to our community. While we all wish we could celebrate our 2019-2020 accomplishments in person at our Annual Meeting, we are excited to kick off the first ever virtual “United Way Spirit Week.”

Between June 15-19, 2020 we will be celebrating on social media. Each morning at 9:00 a.m. you will hear from many of our 2019-2020 Board of Directors and UWCF staff highlighting the meaningful impact we have made in our community and celebrate our annual workplace and community awards.
