United Way of Pitt County is our community in action. For nearly 50 years, the United Way has mobilized resources and leadership to help build a stronger community. United Way works together with individuals, businesses and organizations to build relationships, gather and share information, identify the most important issues and act on their root causes. This work requires a variety of action steps: conducting research, raising money, helping agencies focus their efforts, educating public officials and encouraging everyone to get involved. United Way of Pitt County is focused on advancing the common good right here in our community.
Investing in our community through United Way makes sense. United Way of Pitt County takes your contribution seriously. We know you have many options, but through your annual contribution to the United Way campaign, you touch the lives of one out of three people in Pitt County - a friend, a colleague, a family member. The impact of your gift is multiplied hundreds of times over to prepare our children and youth for future success, to help people achieve financial stability leading to long-term independence, to enhance the health and safety of all our citizens and to be sure we can help our neighbors in crisis. United Way of Pitt County uses your dollars - and your time and talents - purposely to implement strategies and achieve results right here at home, every day, all year long.
The United Way of Pitt County strives to achieve excellence in all we do. Our volunteer board of directors is responsible for defining our Vision and ensuring results. Integrity is the foundation of our value system. Finally, outside auditors confirm the integrity of our internal operations and controls with an annual financial audit.
We all have things we support as individuals to make a difference. But after that, there is some work we can only do together - as a community. When you give through United Way, together we improve more lives in more ways than any single agency can. By giving to United Way, you become part of a caring community, committed to action.
The health, happiness and well-being of everyone in the community directly influences the quality of your life. United Way supported programs are community services, available to everyone. Illness, family problems, mental disorders and natural disasters know no economic boundaries. Members of your family, friends or neighbors may not need United Way services now, but may in the future. It is also comforting to know that United Way is at work to eliminate the situations that cause these problems all the time. A gift to the United Way is a clear expression of your concern for Pitt County citizens. Chances are you, or someone you know, has used services provided by United Way funding.
Yes. On the pledge form, you can designate that you would like your money to be given to another United Way.
One of the advantages of giving through United Way is the time and effort United Way and community volunteers devote to understanding what the important issues are, what is causing them to occur and what strategies can make the most lasting and impactful changes. We also know there are agencies that may be important to you. Therefore, if you choose, you may designate to a specific agency.
