UNITED WE MAKE A DIFFERENCE
Happy Father's Day
to all the awesome dads out there! We love & appreciate you!
Thank You all who signed up to volunteer for the UWLC 2022 Day of Caring!
Lincoln County Coalition Against Domestic Violence is getting a new shelter!
A new and improved Amy's House Shelter!
Contribute to the building of the NEW Amy's House location by purchasing a "gift brick" to be displayed in the Serenity Garden, typically accessible only to survivors and the staff that serves them!

The Serenity Garden will be private, secluded, quiet and full of sun and flowering plants. This garden will have walkways paved with the engraved “gift bricks” designed by individual supporters and contributors. The construction of the new Amy's House Shelter is the culmination of nine years of preparation work and fund-raising, and will provide a highly efficient shelter and service facility to serve domestic violence survivors for the next century. The shelter is expected to open in the spring of 2023!

Julie Byrne
Julie began serving on the United Way Board of Directors in 2021 and the board has benefitted from this collaborative effort since then! We are so thankful to have Julie on our board and are thrilled that she chose integrate herself into Lincoln County through United Way volunteerism!
Mrs. Byrne lives in Lincoln County with her husband, 1 year old daughter, newborn son, and four dogs on a wooded farm in Denver. Julie and her family hope to expand their farm very soon to have chickens, cows and pigs like they had on a previous farm in a different state. After growing up in KY, living in CO, DC and Huntersville, the Byrnes Family now consider Denver to be their forever home and are so excited to grow some roots here. Julie is a CPA, but works in global tax policy helping people understand current events. Julie loves cooking, crafting and being outside on her family's property.
