During our annual fundraising campaign, you showed strength in giving by donating your time and money to fulfill the mission of United Way. Your contributions are improving the education, health and quality of life for families in our communities.

When we come together, make a financial gift or share time and talents with a United Way partner agency, we show how strength in giving makes a difference in the lives of others.

Check out the results of our 2016 United Way campaign.

United Way Appreciation Days will be the week of Feb. 20.
