United Way Donor Dash Fundraiser Begins Wednesday

Ponca City Now - December 13, 2023 6:32 am

Since 1938 United Way of North Central Oklahoma has been bringing our community together to focus on the most important human needs — building partnerships, forging consensus and leveraging resources to make a measurable difference. United Way and its partner agencies focus on community needs under 3 focus areas, Education, Financial Stability and Health/Safety. We want to help children and youth succeed, strengthen and support families, promoting self-sufficiency, collaborating to insure vital and safe neighborhoods, and supporting vulnerable and aging populations. A lot has changed since 1938. But the one thing that has remained the same is the giving spirit of the citizens that live in North Central Oklahoma. It’s the spirit to LIVE UNITED that rallies citizens to contribute their time, treasure and talent; the spirit of everyone pitching in to help others. When we Live United, We Thrive as a community.
