UNITED WAY OF WASHINGTON COUNTY
ALLOCATIONS COMMITTEE UPDATE

Greenville: The United Way of Washington County (UWWC) Allocation Committee held their disbursement meeting to finalize the 2023-2024 campaign by designating the funds to the eleven agencies. The all-volunteer Allocations Committee, local community members, have been working all year to make the final decisions.   

“As the Allocations Committee Chairman, I can attest to the fact that our committee is dedicated to being excellent stewards of the funds that are raised during the UWWC annual campaign.  We do not take our jobs lightly because hard earned money is donated every year.  We also understand the importance of the eleven agencies and how vital their role is in Washington County, said Chad Freeman.  “I am proud to report that our United Way respects all aspects of the work that is done throughout the year.”

The following agencies are partially funded by the United Way of Washington County: American Red Cross Northwest Chapter, Boys & Girls Club of Washington County, Community Counseling Center, Delta Health System-The Medical Center Medication Assistance Program, Delta Kidney Foundation, Girl Scouts Heart of The South, Greenville Renaissance Scholars, Hodding Carter Memorial YMCA, Mississippi Delta and Nature Learning Center, The Fuller Center for Housing - Leland, and United Way Housing Initiative.

Nathan Benzing, UWWC Executive Director, said, “The 2023-2024 UWWC Campaign is completed, and I am thankful for all the donors, volunteers, committees, and agencies who believe in the mission.  Our community is extremely generous and understands the role of these agencies in many people’s lives.  I have served on the Allocations Committee, so I have a deep appreciation for the work that is done by each volunteer.  Thankfully, local people are making the decisions for Washington County.”

The United Way of Washington County volunteers work throughout the year campaigning, communications, agency assistance, and advocating for the agencies. The United Way of Washington County is located at 800 Main Street, Greenville, MS.  For more information, contact 662.332.5371, visit our website, or check out our Facebook page.
