The United Way of Washington is such a wonderful nonprofit organization. This is the second year in a row they have provided backpacks with hygiene supplies for our homeless students. The products are all top quality and the backpacks are so well received . Parents of those students thank us for the assistance and that no questions asked to the students- the bags are just provided with kindness.

I've been donating to the United Way of Washington County for over 20 years. I like their process of the Community Impact Panels and reviewing every grant application thoroughly. Having community members who live and work here and understand our community, lets me know that my donation to the Community Impact Fund is making the most impact for our community.

United Way of Washington County held a Power of the Purse event where we made hygiene kits for local youth in need. It was eye-opening to learn about the needs of our community and how United Way of Washington County works to meet those needs. It felt great to give back by attending the event and also knowing I contributed to helping children in need.

I have been involved with the United Way of Washington County for almost 20 years. They are a great nonprofit organization for many reasons with the top three being:
1. Community Impact - Raising almost $23,000,000 since 2000, the programs and initiatives have fulfilled their mission of uniting people, resources and organizations to improve lives in Washington County.
2. Transparency and Accountability - This is more important today than ever before and UWWC regularly reports on their activities and outcomes, ensuring their donors and stakeholders can see the impact of their contributions.
3. Volunteer Opportunities - UWWC offers numerous opportunities for community members to get involved and make a difference...creating a sense of community and shared responsibility for the well-being of the residents of Washington County.

United Way of Washington County is always generous and giving both of their time and resources to aid our Marianna area in multiple ways! First of all they have assisted me with applying for Grants by EFSP with finding out requirements and explaining them in a way easily understood. They have offered educational services to help individuals and or businesses. But mostly they try and help Communities in need with resources available!
They have been very valuable to me and others in Washington County!

The United Way of Washington County supports the efforts of local nonprofits by serving as the host of the annual LIVE UNITED Day of Service. This annual event brings together volunteers and matches them with local nonprofits’ volunteer projects. As a board member, I have lead a team of volunteers in each of the last two years. The experiences we had forged lasting relationships within our team and with the local organizations that we completed projects for. I'm so happy to have these experiences, to share them, and to encourage others to lend a hand - helping our community in seemingly small ways makes a big impact.

United Way of Washington County is an essential piece of the puzzle that keeps the most vulnerable and high risk portions of our community together. They put the care and needs of the local community at the forefront of all of their initiatives and plans. Allowing for not only an increase in the communities overall well-being, but also a chance for it to continue to grow and its residents to flourish.

Without United Way of Washington County, it is certain that our community would not be what it is today, and many would be without the information and resources they have needed.
