“Every dollar will support a local program for a child, a senior citizen or those in need in our community,” said United Way President and CEO Stephen Hughes. “Even the smallest gift can have a huge impact on people’s lives.”
Some programs that these funds will support include Dolly Parton’s Imagination Library, home-delivered meals for senior citizens and crisis services, such as domestic violence shelters.
