This Women's History Month we celebrated the remarkable contributions of women in our community today. These five videos showcase the exceptional talent, caring and resilience our staff and partners bring to the table every day. From recognizing inequities and calling them out to hyping up inspirational women in their life, United Way knows without their contributions our work would be aimless. Thank you to the women who've spent their lives bettering our world! Dive into the rich history and gratitude featured in these videos and be sure to celebrate the women who make change in your life.
