This spring, our community came together in a big way 💙🌷

Through the United Way Senior Spring Giveaway, more than 850 Senior Spring Clean bags were distributed to local senior citizens across Gaston County this week. Additionally, Gaston County United Way donated more than 400 bags of food to seniors throughout the community.

From volunteers to community partners, every helping hand made a difference in bringing support, care, and smiles to our seniors this season.

Thank you to everyone who helped make this event possible and to the seniors who continue to inspire our community every day! 💛

We’re stronger together 💙

Last week, we welcomed 9 incredible volunteers from Monarch, our newest community partner, who helped us kick off our Senior Spring Clean initiative. From sorting to labeling, their hands-on support is helping us prepare packages for distribution to seniors across Gaston County this May.

Some even traveled hours to be here, showing that the community truly has no boundaries.

Thank you, , for jumping in and making an impact from day one!
