United Way of the Coastal Bend has achieved many great things in the past year and the successes we have had could not have been achieved without the hard work and dedication of not only our staff, but also the volunteers who make United Way what it is.
Thank you to our Board of Directors, the Allocations Panel and the Campaign Roundtable Chair and Roundtable members, Loaned Executives and the hundreds of Campaign Coordinators and supporters at businesses large and small across the Coastal Bend whose leadership and dedication made this possible.
