A Look Back on a Year of Impact

On November 8, United Way of Northwest Georgia hosted its Leaders United training, a one-day program designed to identify, recruit, and connect volunteers to leadership and policy-making positions within nonprofit organizations in Northwest Georgia. This program equipped participants with the skills and knowledge needed to make a meaningful difference in their communities.

United Way’s Volunteer Awards Ceremony, via Facebook Live, was about celebrating our incredible volunteers! United Way honors volunteers in Whitfield and Murray Counties whose service has exemplified a commitment to bring hope, promise, and opportunity to the lives of others.

For the first time in two years, it has begun to feel like our community is back to normal, or some form of “new normal” that we have all come to know. I am filled with gratitude that we were able to host our first Board of Directors meeting this year in person at our United Way office.

United Way’s Annual Meeting Celebration, via Facebook Live, was about celebrating the bright spots in our community!

To say 2021 was another tough year for everyone is an understatement. No one has been immune from the far-reaching impacts of the ongoing pandemic. Families across our community are still experiencing unprecedented emotional and financial strains beyond anything we could ever have imagined.

When we chose to help, to contribute, to reach out, that’s when we create change in Whitfield and Murray Counties.
