United Way of Southern County continues to have an incredible impact in our community. This organization’s ability to mobilize and convene the community – donors, employers, leaders, agencies, volunteers, partner organizations – we have seen the results not only in raising more than $1.3 million in our annual campaign, but in larger projects like the Empire State Poverty Reduction Initiative. Our 2018 campaign video summarized it better than we could: United We Fight. United We WIN. We truly believe that this community is better off because of the work of United Way, as “fundraisers, hand-raisers and game-changers.” And it’s our supporters that we have to thank. Thank you to Kurt Eimiller for chairing such a successful campaign of Street successful. —Hope’s Windows, D&S Glass, Ahlstrom Schaeffer, Allied Alarm, EE Austin, the Lenna , the Ralph C.
