Giving Back; Giving Hope!

Board Members Serve to Give


I have spent time recently meeting with each board member to gain insight on their motivation and aspirations as a part of UWCC’s Board of Directors. I could ask the question 19 times and receive 19 different answers, but even those different answers all said to me that each board member’s motivation for serving was quite simply to give back to Charlotte County.


They want to give help, and in doing so, give hope.


Our local United Way is more than just an organization. Our story is rich with individuals who know that alone their efforts will only go so far, but when United, we can make tremendous impact. These individuals are the heart and soul of this organization.
