"One way that I live united is by going to River Commons (Head Start Program) and reading to children. It is important to reach out to children and guide them in the right direction. United Way will encourage people to live united by giving, advocating, and volunteering."

Roberta Humphries

"I live united by raising awareness of United Way and its partner agencies through community involvement. I also promote education by awarding a yearly writing prize, and health and fitness through a yearly 5K run that I coordinate."

Bri Kay

I am proud to live united!  I give each year during my organization’s annual United Way campaign, advocate by educating my peers about the need to support United Way’s partnering agencies, and volunteer my time through United Way’s Marketing Committee. 

Lisa Rimmert

"I live united by promoting United Way of Cumberland County and encouraging people to join with us to inspire hope for a better tomorrow. I also educate children and adults on how to humanely and responsibly care for animals by giving volunteer orientations at Fayetteville Animal Protection Society."

Piedmont Natural Gas

We live united through our partnership with Walker-Spivey School.  Walker-Spivey is a special needs school for at-risk middle and high school students with a staff of committed, professional, caring administrators and teachers. 2007-2008 is the 3rd year Piedmont has worked with Walker-Spivey. 

History

The concept of United Way originated in Denver, Colorado in 1887 when four clergymen and one public-spirited woman formed the first joint appeal for organized help in the United States. >>

Lives change when a community cares.

As part of this community, each and every one of us share the responsibility of improving the quality of life in our community. United Way of Cumberland County provides important funding that assists people who need a helping hand, and EVERY dollar collected counts. >>

What is Days of Caring?

Days of Caring is a community-wide demonstration of the power of volunteering! Hundreds of volunteers across Cumberland County will pitch-in and “lend a helping hand”. >>
