Piedmont United Way is a non-profit organization that serves the counties of Culpeper,
Madison, Fauquier, Orange and Rappahannock by developing and distributing resources
that address human needs. Each year , Piedmont United Way invests contributions
in local partner agencies that provide health and human services to individuals
and families in need. In addition, Piedmont United Way makes donor directed
designations to non-United Way health and human service programs each year.
United Way touches more people that any other organization in the community;
it is estimated that one out of every five people in the local five county
service area has been helped by United Way funded programs or agencies.
Piedmont United Way is governed by a local board of directors, made up
of members from each of the 5 counties, who ensure that the organization
is managed efficiently
and effectively. Community volunteers determine how dollars raised should
be distributed.
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.
Piedmont Volunteer Center serves the Piedmont United Way area;
actively promoting community volunteering, connecting people who want to volunteer with opportunities
to serve, and serving as a resource for community organizations in building effective volunteer
programs. If your
organization is
seeking or presently uses volunteers in accomplishing your
mission or if you want to volunteer in your community, contact the
Volunteer Center and let
us show you the many ways volunteers can make a difference.
Money raised for Piedmont United Way remains local and stays to support
programs and agencies in Culpeper, Fauquier, Madison, Orange and Rappahannock
counties, unless designated by the donor to any organization out of the
area. We bring results to people who live and work right
here.
When you give to United Way, you connect with others who care. Your gift
combines with other gifts to support a network of services and programs
dedicated to helping those who need assistance in our community.
