PARTNER AGENCY SPOTLIGHT

CALL FOR VOLUNTEERS
Each year, a group of community volunteers reviews applications for grant funding and completes site visits.  After that, they provide recommendations for funding to United Way Staff and Board of Directors.  This process is invaluable to us and the community and you are invited to join the 2018 CIRT team.
