Your Investment in our Community

During the course of the 2005 United Way campaign, the Marysville Journal-Tribune featured a different United Way Member Agency each Monday on the front page. To provide a personal context in showing how the United Way makes an impact here in Union County, the stories are told from the point of view of those receiving services, those providing the services, or the volunteers who staff the Agencies. They are archived here so that you may see the many ways in which your investment makes a difference in the lives of our neighbors.
