“I am thrilled to begin the new chapter of the United Way of Washington County and want to thank the board of directors for their support. Also, I look forward to working with all the agencies, volunteers, and donors as we move into the new campaign year,” said Benzing. “Lastly, Jennifer has been a wealth of information and I cannot thank her enough for all the years she worked here and the knowledge she is passing on. Congratulations on her retirement.”

The United Way of Washington County moved their office this year to 800 Main Street, Greenville, MS. “The United Way of Washington County has had many changes in the last few months and now is the perfect time to begin our next chapter with a new executive director and office location,” said England.
