❤️ United Way in Action! ❤️

At United Way of the Pine Belt Region, we are committed to showing up for our neighbors when they need us most. Following a house fire in Ward 7, our team was honored to assist a local family as they begin the difficult process of rebuilding.

We are grateful for the opportunity to serve our community and provide support during times of crisis. This is what it means to LIVE UNITED — coming together, lending a helping hand, and reminding our neighbors that they are not alone.

Thank you to everyone who helps make this work possible across our five-county service area! 💙
