More about Piedmont United Way

Each year , Piedmont United Way invests contributions in local partner agencies that provide health and human services to individuals and families in need.

United Way distributes funds to community agencies providing basic services for families, shelters for the homeless, food for the elderly, nursery schools, scouting programs, youth recreation, and an information and referral help phone line.
