Help Us Invest in Our Community

From The Pilot: November 24, 2009

The past two years have been a difficult economic time for all Americans, but even more so for the disadvantaged.
More than 35,000 people in Moore County rely on the support of our United Way. Twenty-two agencies and programs receive funding from our local United Way, and for many of the programs, the United Way is a major source of income.
The United Way of Moore County serves three constituencies: youth, family and medical and emergency assistance.
It supports nine youth programs that concentrate on building better citizens through education, community involvement and leadership preparation. Another keynote is better health by dietary education, athletic participation and early pediatric screening.

There are nine family agencies that vary in scope, from providing meals to the disabled and homebound, to furnishing assistance to victims of physical and emotional abuse. The three medical and emergency assistance agencies provide food, fuel, clothing and medical care to those with emergency needs.
Your support will help us continue making a significant investment in our community as the economic challenges continue. We hope you will join us in motivating others in the community through your commitment of major financial support to United Way.
Visit or call the United Way office to learn more about how we are helping to build a better community for all our citizens.
I am honored to lead this campaign effort for the United Way. Join our family in making the most generous contribution that you can. Thank you for your gift and your support in helping those who cannot always help themselves.
