As winter winds down, United Way of the Tanana Valley is looking ahead to warmer days and many activities under the Midnight Sun! |
In the last few months, we've had the opportunity to participate in the annual Key Coalition, where we spoke to local Legislators and Representatives about the need to keep services in place for individuals with disabilities. Our Development Director attended a statewide bifurcation meeting, regarding the restructuring of the Alaska Department of Health and Social Services, which impacts so many of our agencies and service providers. Additionally, our staff attended various exciting trainings, and our VISTA Volunteers gave of their time at Bread Line and The Rescue Mission. We are also continuing to work on our website rebuild, which should launch very soon.
Our team looks forward to continuing to serve this great community and appreciate all of your support.
Kindly,
UWTV Staff

UWTV VISTA Volunteer Update |
United Way of the Tanana Valley has welcomed our new VISTA Volunteer, Timea Renfrow, to our team. Timea comes to us all the way from Virginia, where she will be replacing Shea Brenneman as our VAC Coordinator on our 3-year VISTA project.
Shea has been an incredible asset to our team and has done great things for our community. She will be moving on sometime this summer, to join Doctors Without Borders and we wish her the best of luck on her new and exciting endeavor.

Volunteer Action Center (the VAC) |
United Way of the Tanana Valley is proud to bring the volunteer spirit back to our community. Shea has worked hard this past year to establish our newest program, the VAC, which connects volunteers with agencies across the Tanana Valley, who have volunteer needs. The sign-up process is fast and agencies update their needs regularly. Please help us spread the word by letting your friends and family know about this incredible program, and visit the VAC to find your next volunteer opportunity! |

On July 24th, we would love for you to join us, as we cheer on the Goldpanners at Growden Field. We are planning some fun activities during the game and would be so excited to see you and your family there. We can almost smell the grass and concessions! |

The Annual KTVF Toy Drive was a smashing success, bringing in over $10,000 in donated toys and gifts. This is an incredible partnership with UWTV, KTVF, Madden Real Estate, Total Toyo, Enchanted Toys, and The Comic Shop. |
