Members of United Way of Western Kentucky's new stewardship group, Retired United, volunteered their time at Paducah Cooperative Ministry this week to help fill food bags. These incredible volunteers filled approximately 400 pantry bags in a little over an hour and then met to discuss future opportunities for volunteer and social activities.

If you are retired and looking for a way to connect with nonprofit organizations and other retirees, let us know! We'd love for you to join us for the next Retired United event!
