💛 Ryan Dixon's desire to give back...

Ryan Dixon, Product Specialist at Nourse Chillicothe Automall, reached out about giving back. Ryan's own child receives Imagination Library books arriving in their mailbox each month. Those stories spark joy, curiosity, and family time, and now Ryan wants to give back to the program that means so much to them.

His family’s experience inspired him to support United Way’s work so more children can discover the magic of reading. We’re grateful for Ryan's generosity and hope you’ll join us in cheering him on as he continues building a life rooted in kindness and community.

If you find yourself shopping for a new or used auto, consider going to see Ryan!

Meet Our Funded Partner: Ross County ReEntry Coalition

Established in 2009, the Ross County Reentry Coalition has grown into a strong network of collaboration and information-sharing, working to support individuals returning to our community after incarceration.

Their mission is to coordinate services with community partners and provide returning citizens with the resources, support, and opportunities they need to achieve long-term success.

The Coalition also works to educate community members, organizations, and employers about the importance of fair treatment and opportunity—helping reduce stigma and remove barriers that can make reentry more difficult.

Through a holistic approach and strong community partnerships, the Ross County Reentry Coalition focuses on second chances, self-sufficiency, and successful reintegration.

As a United Way of Ross County grant-funded Community Impact Partner, we are proud to support their work and their commitment to helping individuals build a successful future right here in Ross County. 💚

Because everyone deserves the opportunity for a second chance.
