What do you get when a woman, a priest, two ministers, and a rabbi walk into a bar?

United Way! 😂

Okay, it wasn’t actually a bar, but it’s a true story. On October 16, 1887, Frances Wisebart Jacobs, Father William O’Ryan, Reverend Myron Reed, Dean H. Martyn Hart, and Rabbi William Friedman came together in Denver, Colorado, to form the Charity Organization Society. Their idea was simple: neighbors are stronger when they work together to care for one another.

That idea grew into what we now know as United Way, and today marks 139 years.

We’re ever so grateful for the foundation they laid and encouraged for the future we’re building together right here in Moore County. Here’s to the next 139! ❤️💛💙🧡

The giving season is here!

We’re excited to launch our Community Gift Drive!an opportunity for all of us to come together and provide individuals and families in our community with resources they truly need.

Sometimes, making a difference isn’t about giving something extravagant. It’s about providing the right thing at the right time—something that can make life a little easier for a child, a parent, or a family going through a challenging season.

🎁 Want to help?
Visit our Gift Drive to see what items are needed and choose how you’d like to give:

👉 https://giftdrive.org/drive/1433

And if you or your family are in need of support, we want you to know that you are not alone. ❤️ Families in our community can sign up through our website to receive assistance and access available resources.

👉 https://www.pfcfmc.org/pantry

🧺 Our Essentials Care Pantry is open on the 3rd Thursday of every month, providing essential items to help families meet everyday needs.

Whether you’re giving or receiving, this is what community is about—neighbors supporting neighbors and making sure families have access to the resources they need to thrive.

💙 Give what you can. Ask for what you need. We’re here for our community.
