This is the United Fund's 45th year of service to Cumberland County. I don't believe any other non -profit has touched as many lives as this agency has in the past 45 years.

The United Fund of Cumberland County is the perfect example of a top quality nonprofit organization. It's total focus is on the 30 plus organizations that it serves and the betterment of Cumberland County. In it's 45 years the United Fund has helped the handicapped, the battered, the poor, and the needy. It helps all age groups from infant to elderly. If there is an organization that brings our community together to help others it is the United Fund of Cumberland County, Inc.

My position as a board member and chairman of a committee of the United Fund has allowed me to meet and be educated by the incredible agency employees and volunteers of the various United Fund agencies. Through United Fund allocation committees or the Dimpled Globe Awards Committee I have met and interviewed many individuals who are both inspiring and inspired. They are highly motivated and their selfless dedication to reach out to those in need is a wonderful "pass it on" experience. How could anyone not be impressed by the personal dedication of Denise Melton of the House of Hope or the mentors and leadership of Kids on the Rise, to name only a few examples. From retirees to young volunteers, the United Fund of Cumberland County can be very proud of these individuals, they are the basis for a great community.

The Great!

Seeing the increases in funding, and support of agencies, the recognition by the community of the value of the United Fund agencies and volunteers is demonstrated. The DGA beginning with little more than an idea has been supported financially and in many other ways from the very beginning by community residents and the United Fund. I could not ask for more.

I can't think of any but there are always new ideas, new needs, and new directions to "Make a difference" in our community. As a board member I would always be sensitive to such fresh ideas.

The United Fund of Cumberland County is one of the shining stars of this rural community of 60,000 plus folks who believe in the community and care about each other. The history of this community is one of strength, commitment, and dedication to making a better life for the future generations who will call this area home. Amazingly, during the past 2 or 3 years of extreme unfriendly economic climate, where our economy is based on agriculture, moderate industry, tourism, etc., this community has come together to meet exceptional goals of giving back..to those who have suffered from unemployment, medical catastrophes, and all the backlash that follows and directly affects the families. Children with parents who cannot find work ( or have abandoned the children and left them in the care of grandparents, etc.) are taking home food in backpacks each Friday afternoon as they leave school to insure they eat over the weekend, elderly folks who live alone in rural areas of the county and try to exist on meager monthly social security checks receive hot meals delivered by smiling, caring faces daily, who receive assistance with
uftilities to insure they are protected from the severe weather, those with special needs have access to facilities for training, learning, those who are impacted by catastrophic weather and need emergency shelter, food, etc.
Neighbors helping neighbors, caring, giving...this is what the United Fund of Cumberland County is about!

The Great!

working with some of the 36 non profit agencies that the United Fund helps to fund...amazing how much we learn about our community, about the organizations and the folks they serve.

If I had to make changes to this organization, I would...

Work harder to raise more money to help fund even more agencies.... to insure no child goes hungry, no elderly person goes without the basic necessities of life such as food, clothing, warm shelter...
