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 of Northwest Georgia is led by a Board of Directors comprised of locally trained volunteers.
When I think of our local community, one word that comes to mind is: connection. Whether someone has grown up in this community or just moved here; the connection and a true sense of comradery are unmistakable.

Every year, March is designated Women’s History Month by presidential proclamation. The month is set aside to honor women’s contributions in American history.
Mike Sanderson and Isabel Pimentel, both of Engineered Floors, led the charge in 2021 as the United Way Campaign Co-Chairs. Seeing the great need in our community, they volunteered to co-chair the campaign. Mike Sanderson and Isabel Pimentel have been huge supporters of United Way. Both Mike and Isabel have always given generously of both their financial resources and of their time.
This past year has most certainly had its times of struggle and hardship. The continued effects of the Covid-19 pandemic impacted all aspects of our lives. The needs in our community continued to grow, and United Way volunteers answered the call to serve their community as selfless leaders.
