It’s time to kick off our United Way campaign! Each year our employees give generously to support our local partners (listed below) and other local organizations. You can see the money we donate comes right back to our community and you’ll notice Sampson County Friends of Education on the list. We received approximately $15,000 from United Way of Sampson County this year to fund teacher grants for instructional materials.
Donation forms have been given to schools/offices and you’ll be receiving one soon. The deadline to return forms to your school/office is Wednesday, October 11. Please utilize payroll deduction or write a check (payable to United Way of Sampson County).
Completed packets/forms are to be returned to Valerie Newton.
Thanks for all you do to make a positive difference in Sampson County!
