Important decisions will be made next week by dedicated volunteers that work and live in our local communities. The United Way of the Upper Ohio Valley has had a successful campaign and it is time to allocate these funds to programs that improve the health, education and financial stability of individuals and families in our Upper Ohio Valley.
The process of “giving away” money is harder than it sounds as some of our veteran volunteers can attest. We have many agencies that have successful and needed programs that could use the funding.
