Giving to United Way makes a big difference

Mr. George believed United Way was the best way to give back to the people who needed it most. Our commitment to United Way continues today during our annual giving campaign.

This year’s campaign runs through Sept. 13. Give today, and you’ll find that something wonderful happens when you do. Even the smallest amount can have a big impact, so consider making a payroll deduction or one-time gift to United Way.
