They coordinate with other agencies are a vital part of our local community. Every dollar is well spent. Kudos to the amazing team, volunteers, board members and donors for helping this noteworthy organization not only succeed, but thrive in Jackson County Oregon.

I am a fairly new United Way Campaign volunteer, and I am so amazed by all of the different ways that this nonprofit assists in the community. I have heard personal stories from different individuals in the community describing how United Way was there to help them in their most desperate and troubling of times. These stories range from the battles of addiction, finding housing, and meals being provided. I am amazed at all of the other nonprofits that United Way helps to support too. It has been a wonderfully emotional experience so far and I look forward to my future participation with United Way.

United Way of Jackson County contributes to the health of our community as a whole. As a volunteer I have witnessed countless stories of success, triumph and determination made possible by the guidance of United Way and the commitment of a community. Such a remarkable force united in helping those who need to connect.

I am both proud and honored to serve on the board of directors of the United Way of Jackson County. This organization tackles challenges in our community head on with an unwavering commitment to the people of Jackson County.

As a long-time volunteer and board member of the organization I appreciate the role that United Way plays in standing up for those individuals and organizations that need help as well as advocating for change to improve our community. United Way of Jackson Counties ability to build bridges to bring individuals together is unlike any other organization in Southern Oregon.

United Way of Jackson County makes a difference in our community! From helping individuals with specific needs to systemically looking at our transportation challenges, nothing is too big or small for this organization. I'm proud of my association with them, and even prouder of their life-changing work!

I have had the great pleasure of being involved with the United Way of Jackson County for nearly five years as a campaign volunteer and then as a board member. I am continually amazed by the dedication and professionalism of the entire organization, top to bottom, who are committed to being not just a participant--but a leader--in helping those most in need in our communities.

As a new member of our community, I have had the opportunity to work with The United Way of Jackson County. I have been involved with other UW organizations and Jackson County UW has far exceeded my experience in other locations. The community is in good hands for years to come!

United Way of Jackson County is a great financial steward of limited resources. The thought and deliberation that goes into how to best invest those limited resources in the community is reassuring.

The United Way of Jackson County, Oregon, is a phenomenal organization, and remarkably impactful in our community. They have been leaders in so many arenas, including raising awareness early on about Meth and also Suicide Prevention. Throughout COVID they stepped up immediately to help individuals and families, and in the same year responded in remarkable ways in the wake of a wildfire that destroyed over 2,600 residences. The accomplishments are numerous and lifesaving. We are so lucky to have this United Way in our region!

I have been a volunteer for 15 years or so and I love it! A well-run organization with amazing staff.

I've been a United Way volunteer since 1991 at 3 different locations - South Hampton Roads (Norfolk, VA), Cumberland County (Raleigh, NC), and here in Jackson County (Medford, OR) - including their Combined Federal Campaigns. The staff and volunteers here at UWJC don't just raise money for their partner charitable organizations, they raise the entire community thru their focus on education, health, transportation and family stability. Here in Jackson County we are truly United in Purpose!

As a board member, former campaign chair, and enthusiastic volunteer, I must say that our United Way is unique in its ability to nimbly navigate community issues, impact legislation, and enrich the lives of every citizen in our region. How grateful and privileged I am to be a part of such an effective, important, and treasured community resource.

As a board member, I've seen our local United Way navigate crisis such as the COVID pandemic, wildfires that destroyed local towns, opioid addiction, and mental health.
The organization has been a convener of community to tackle these difficult challenges as well as directed assistance to individuals across Jackson County.
The breadth and depth of success in meeting these needs has earned the trust of community leaders that now turn to this United Way for guidance and support.

First year volunteering with the United Way of Jackson County. The commitment that this organization has to the community is striking.

The organization helps a wide variety of the community. It has been inspirational to hear how the programs the United Way supports impact people.

I have been a United Way volunteer for many years and can not say enough about the wonderful ways that they help the local community.

I have had the privilege to work with the United Way of Jackson County for many years. And every year I am inspired by their work, the people involved and the true spirit of community!
The united Way is a true force for good that has changed my life not only as a volunteer but as a recipient. I know I would not be where I am today if it was not for all they do for Jackson County.

I am very appreciative of the impact that United Way of Jackson County has had in our communities. This is a dedicated, caring, and devoted group of mighty individuals.

I have been fortunate to work with UW on their campaigns and Day of Caring for many years.

It amazes me to see the many partnerships they have built, and the great leadership they have been providing to our community, our non-profits, our volunteers and the recipient's.

Everyone wins!

Our United Way is a leader in our community, literally the heart of our community. When fires destroyed thousands of homes and businesses two years ago, United Way took the lead to help and to this day, continues to help families recover. We are so grateful to have such a well organized and supported organization here locally.

I have been involved with the United Way of Jackson County for 29 years in a variety of roles. I was first introduced to the organization when I was an executive director of one of the many partner agencies supported by United Way. I became involved in the annual fundraising Campaign for many years which led to other activities including participation in many Days of Caring, serving on the Finance and Volunteer Engagement Committees, and Chair of the annual fundraising Campaign; now retired, I serve on the Board of Directors. Through all of this, I have found the organization to be critically aware of diverse community needs and exceptionally responsive to them. This was thoroughly demonstrated when immediate action was needed due to the wildfires in the region in 2020. Although not all situations require such expediency, United Way has developed viable initiatives to address many troublesome issues facing the area. Key to the success of these initiatives are the established collaborations developed with local partners and the hundreds of engaged volunteers throughout the community. Led by an innovative and creative staff, this organization is a great example of Living United and all that can be accomplished through it. Although all of this sounds serious, as it is indeed serious work, there is a reason that volunteers become long-term and involve themselves in varied activities. Not only are they treated with respect, laughter and camaraderie easily find their way into meetings and friendships forged. Besides, where else can you go to see an Emmy on display for the good work done?

I was introduced to United Way in 2019 when I had the opportunity to volunteer for their 2019 fund raising campaign. I had no idea what a gift this was to me and how it would touch my life in such a positive way.

The United Way staff and volunteers are dedicated to all they serve and approach their goals with compassion and mindfulness of others. They do not see obstacles. They see ways to make a difference in our community, ways to touch as many lives as possible, and to LIVE UNITED in all they do.

I am honored to part of United Way and look forward to many more years of volunteerism.
