United Way ups its 2024 fundraising goal

THE UNITED WAY of Addison County kicked off its 2024 fund drive last month with a series of “Days of Caring” that saw many folks volunteer their time performing tasks, ranging from landscaping to painting, at nonprofits throughout the county.

UWAC late last month launched a 2024 campaign to raise $750,000 for charitable causes in our area. That’s $50,000 more than last year’s fund drive, which ended up netting an impressive $859,941. So officials are pleased to be able to boost this year’s goal, which had plateaued at $700,000 in recent years.
