United Way of Taylor County

09/10/2026

Today, United Way of Taylor County joins our community and communities around the world in recognizing World Su***de Prevention Day.

Su***de touches families, friends, coworkers, schools, and entire communities. It reminds us that we never truly know what someone may be carrying behind the moments we see.

Start the conversation. Check on your people. Listen without judgment. Be willing to ask, “Are you okay?”

Sometimes one conversation, one phone call, one moment of kindness, or simply reminding someone that they are not alone can make a difference.

Let’s work together to create a Taylor County where people feel seen, supported, valued, and safe. Su***de is preventable, and every one of us has a role in prevention. 💛

If you or someone you know is struggling, call or text 988 for the Su***de & Crisis Lifeline.

United, we can create hope. United, we can save lives.

🎒💛 2026 MEALS IN A BACKPACK — THANK YOU!

As another school year gets underway, we want to take a moment to recognize the incredible people who continue to show up for local kids and families.

A HUGE thank you to every business, organization, family, and community member who donated to the 2026 Meals in a Backpack Campaign! Your generosity helps make sure local children have food to take home over the weekends when school meals aren’t available.

This program is about so much more than a backpack of food. It’s about making sure kids feel supported, cared for, and reminded that their community believes in them. ❤️

We are so grateful for every donation, volunteer and helping hand that made this year possible. Because of YOU, we are making a real difference for children and families right here in our community. 🥰

Want to continue supporting Meals in a Backpack?
The Medford School District accepts donations throughout the entire year, so you can continue helping provide this important resource even after the campaign ends.

Thank you for helping us make sure no child goes hungry. 💛
