Dear Fellow Citizens:

How has your life been touched by the United Way?  Chances are a friend, a neighbor, a co-worker, or maybe a family member has been helped by one of the partner agencies funded by the United Way of Hernando County. 

 It is very likely you have been on the giving end of the United Way, with a financial contribution to our campaign or by volunteering your time during our Day of Caring or Volunteer Hernando program.  Maybe you have done both. 

It is possible you have helped young girls and boys get involved in scouting programs or sent them to a YMCA camp.  You may have made it possible for an abused woman and her children to find a safe place to stay at the Dawn Center.  You might have given a cancer patient transportation to a treatment center, or helped a young adult live independently and learn life skills through ARC of the Nature Coast.  A struggling family may have been able to make ends meet because you gave to the United Way of Hernando County. 

However you have chosen to help, you have been part of what matters in our community. We are grateful for your support and encourage you to continue helping us provide services to virtually thousands of citizens—from the very young to the very elderly.   Remember, your donations stay in Hernando County. 

Personally, I have been blessed by serving on the Board of Directors of the United Way of Hernando County and witnessing first hand how our agencies and this United Way produce results you can see.  Please take a few moments to read through our website, and discover how your United Way takes care of our own by solving problems, improving health, assisting during emergencies and investing in our community. 

 With gratitude,

Deanna Dammer Kimbrough, President
Board of Directors
