Focusing on four key areas of community need the Community Impact Committee directed more than $226,000 to United Way partner agencies that provide food, shelter and other basic need services. Approximately $135,000 is directed to programs that address issues of child and family violence. More than $224,000 will go to programs for healthy development of children and youth.
