Helping to build healthy communities

United Way Day of Action is a national day of service for all United Ways, where volunteers come together to be part of solutions that make a difference in our community. This year, our United Way focused on building healthy communities by restoring and maintaining natural spaces around the county via environmental cleanups. Special thanks to our partners at Nelson Mullins for sponsoring the event and to all the volunteers who participated!

"The reason I volunteer is because of my personal service mission statement: ‘Aspire to Inspire before you Expire' - Unknown. This drives me daily as I am able to engage, encourage and ignite individual's passion to reach their full potential through servant leadership." Get to know our volunteers here.
