The goal of United Way of White County is to help neighbors in need. On February 24, the organization handed out checks totaling $75-thousand dollars to 14 agencies that serve residents of White County.
Wayne Hardy, United Way board chairman, said they are proud to assist so many organizations.
“That’s one thing that we are proud of in United Way of White County, that we are able to take almost every penny given and return back into these originations that are serving our community and we have been very blessed to have a lot of generosity that’s allowed us to carry this out. A lot of hard work, it doesn’t happen without the volunteers making it happen and a very dedicated board,” commented Hardy.
During the allocation ceremony, Attorney Carl Free was recognized for his two decades of service to United Way.
Darrel Chaney shared with the group about the upcoming Darrel Chaney Invitational Golf Tournament that will benefit United Way. That event will be held on April 11th and 12th and will feature 23 celebrity-led teams who will participate.
