United Way Galveston County Mainland

United Way Galveston County Mainland United Way Galveston County Mainland fights for the Health, Education, and Financial Stability of every person in Galveston County Mainland.

We do this by supporting partner agencies that provide a wide range of vital social services. United Way Galveston County Mainland (UWGCM) is a local, volunteer-driven nonprofit organization that brings together the 12 mainland communities of Galveston County to address the critical issues of HEALTH, EDUCATION and FINANCIAL STABILITY. Our 23 Partner Agencies provide programs that make positive, long-lasting impacts to the people who live and work in Galveston County.

Last week, Valero Texas City employees volunteered their time to complete projects at UWGCM partner agencies throughout our community. Their efforts provided valuable support to our agencies and the important work they do every day.

We are incredibly grateful to Valero for continuing to invest in our community, to every employee who volunteered, and to our partner agencies for welcoming them and providing opportunities to make a difference.

As we wrap up Week of Caring, we are proud to celebrate a successful week of service and community impact!

Thank you, Valero, for showing what it means to LIVE UNITED!

🌟 Week of Caring is in full swing!

This week, Valero volunteers have been hard at work across our community, lending their time and talents to support local agencies and the people they serve.

From landscaping and facility improvements to hands-on projects and helping prepare resources for our neighbors, these volunteers have shown up ready to make a difference wherever they are needed.

We are incredibly grateful to Valero and all of the volunteers who have rolled up their sleeves for this year’s Week of Caring. Your time, energy and commitment to our community mean so much to our partner agencies and to all of us at UWGCM.

And we are not done yet! Stay tuned for more Week of Caring highlights as volunteers continue serving throughout the week. 🫶

Week of Caring is underway! We’re excited to see Valero employees connecting with our partner agencies and lending a hand in meaningful ways across our community. M.I. Lewis was one of the agencies benefiting from that support this week, as Valero volunteers pitched in to help with projects throughout the center. We’re grateful for the time and effort Valero employees are giving to support our community! 💙

Over the past several days, we have had the opportunity to visit with Valero Texas City Refinery employees alongside several of our partner agencies to share more about the work happening in our community. We are always grateful for the chance to connect directly with employees, talk about the impact of their support, and hear directly from our agencies about the important work they do every day.

We are incredibly grateful for Valero’s continued support of UWGCM, our partner agencies, and our entire community. Their commitment goes far beyond their generous financial support, and we are excited to keep the campaign going with more employee visits later this week and the Week of Caring next week, when employees will volunteer directly with local agencies.

A huge thank you to everyone at Valero who has welcomed us, learned more about our agencies, and continues to show up for our community. We are proud to be part of this campaign, and we are looking forward to everything still to come!
