WEEKLY VOLCANO TEAMS UP WITH UNITED WAY OF PIERCE COUNTY >>>
When it comes to opportunities created within a community and the impact they have on individual lives, the United Way of Pierce County (UWPC) makes a positive difference.
"The United Way always provides the traditional safety net, the emergency services for those in need," says Sean Armentrout, vice president of UWPC Community Education & Resource Development.
"We also work with leaders and subject matter experts to further the impact we have in the community."
Based on a 2003 survey seeking to identify the critical issues effecting Pierce County, the United Way focused on education, housing and health issues.
What resulted is a plan to improve the community as well as funding guideline for contributions made to the United Way's Community Solutions Fund.
Financial support to the UWPC helps fund 117 non-profit programs in 71 agencies.
"When you donate, it is a smart investment in this community in which you live," Armentrout explains. "All of the dollars remain local and have a tremendous impact."
The Weekly Volcano has partnered with UWPC for this coming year, concentrating our efforts on housing needs and homelessness. Stay tuned for more information on our events and donation opportunities.
The United Way for Pierce County is located at 1501 Pacific Ave. SW, Suite 400, Tacoma. For more information, call 253.272.4263 or visit www.uwpc.org.
