“In spite of all of life’s challenges from the global COVID pandemic, the national recession, inflation, and other national concerns, we all have a mutual understanding that as long as we UNITE we CAN and WILL continue to impact our community” says Chief Executive Officer Kym Parnell.
This year is a year of embracing all of our community organizations, community members, and organizations to encourage us all to Live United” says Executive Director Kym Parnell.
We owe it to our 20 partner agencies and our community to have a successful campaign. We wanted to create an event that was fun and provided insight on the United Way. I am excited about this year’s campaign and I am confident that we will have a successful and impactful year.”
