We remember. We honor. We serve. ❤️

Today, United Way of the Ohio Valley stands with those whose lives were forever changed on September 11, 2001.

We invite our neighbors across the Ohio Valley to honor their memory through acts of kindness, service, and support that strengthen our community.

Twenty-five years later, we remember those whose lives were lost and forever changed on September 11, 2001.

Today, we honor their memory by showing up for one another and giving back to the communities we call home.

United Way is proud to join 9/11 Day in encouraging people across the country to turn remembrance into action through acts of service and kindness.

Thank You, Savannah! 💙

It's hard to put into words just how much Savannah has meant to United Way of the Ohio Valley over the last 3.5 years.

From the moment she stepped into the role of Director of Resource Development & Marketing, she brought an incredible level of energy, creativity, and commitment. Whether she was developing campaigns, telling the stories of those we serve, supporting community partners, or helping move our mission forward, Savannah approached every challenge with professionalism, compassion, and enthusiasm.

Her work has helped shape the way our community sees and engages with United Way, but her greatest impact may be the relationships she built along the way. She has been a trusted teammate, a passionate advocate, and a wonderful friend to so many of us.

While we will miss her greatly, we are excited to see where her next chapter leads. Savannah, thank you for helping make UWOV stronger, better, and brighter. No matter where life takes you, you'll always have a home and family here at United Way.

💙 WE'RE OFF! 💙

The 2026-2027 United Way Campaign officially starts today!

Because of supporters like you, last year we were able to invest in programs and solutions that help build stronger communities. Together, we made a real difference, and we're incredibly grateful.

Now, it's time to do it again.

This new campaign brings new opportunities to give back, create positive change, and come together for the people and communities who need us most.

Thank you for standing with United Way and making this work possible. Let's make this our best campaign yet!

United is the Way to Stronger Communities. 💙
