A Glimpse of Gratitude
Gratitude is an attitude we hope to have all year through, but this time of year is a wonderful reminder to focus on the things in our lives we are grateful for.
Above all, our United Way team is thankful for all of YOU – our generous and caring community who teams up with us to help our neighbors in need – thank you for giving, volunteering, and for empowering United Way to continue bringing people together to improve lives.
