UNITING HEARTS, MINDS, & RESOURCES

From the President

Changing people’s lives for the better will always be a face-to-face endeavor. Social media, Zoom, and even this website will never replace the power of person-to-person interactions and relationships. For all of us, that should be very reassuring and encouraging! While I take solace in Margaret Mead’s words, I also must accept and even embrace the fact that our world is changing at an ever-increasing rate, and connecting to people is changing moment by moment.

Today, as we pause to reflect and plan our next steps, let’s remember the significance of our actions. Each of us has the power to transform lives through our choices and behaviors. Whether it’s a small act of kindness or a major initiative, our actions matter. Let’s strive to make a positive impact on the lives of those around us!

As we approach the United Way fundraising season, let’s understand the profound impact our contributions can make. Fundraising is not just a means to an end; it’s a catalyst for change. The true end goal is not meeting a fundraising target, but the transformative effects those funds can have on lives. From providing food and shelter to counseling and support, our donations can make a world of difference.

When someone calls on you to give to our United Way Campaign, please help us help others by providing a generous gift! Your gift will help us change our world, one person at a time!

This is MY United Way

We could not do what we do without our volunteers!

United Way of Kershaw County is a volunteer led organization. We have an all-volunteer board of directors comprised of community leaders from across Kershaw County, from bankers, lawyers, housewives, pastors, educators, to retired individuals giving their time to make our organization function.

Volunteers also help greet visitors to our offices, answer phones, fold t-shirts, load and unload trucks, pack and deliver food boxes and so much more. Volunteers are the lifeblood of our United Way! They are our family.

I thank you for your tireless efforts to come alongside our staff to make Kershaw County a better place to live.

A group of people are working together to build garden boxes for the community. There is an adult using a wheelbarrow to pour soil into the garden box, and two girls are spreading the soil around to make sure it's evenly distributed.
Volunteers from all ages are helping deliver food to people in need. The building is a green tin building with white accents. The volunteers are loading bags into a truck.
