I’ve supported United Way with a small deduction from each paycheck and volunteer because of the equitable and impactful way that United Way funds invest in our nonprofit agencies and the community. I serve on the United Way Board because I am passionate about collaborative community work; we are stronger together and that is what United Way represents to me.

I have been lucky to work with and donate to the United Way for many years. I feel that watching the outcome of their work in our community has the results I can see in so many lives. Southwest Colorado is a giving community and to actually see these efforts translate into helping the lives of so many, makes it worth it.
