Thank You SPENCER SAVINGS BANK

UWGUC is Feeling so thankful today.

Watching our community come together to support our cereal drive is a powerful reminder that small acts of kindness create lasting impact. A heartfelt thank you to Spencer Savings Bank for stepping up in such a meaningful way and helping us close the gap for children and families who may struggle with food insecurity during the summer months.

550 boxes of cereal!!!!

Your generosity is more than a donation—it’s hope, compassion, and a commitment to ensuring every child has the opportunity to start their day with a meal. Together, we are proving that when a community unites, we can make a real difference.

Grateful. Inspired. And more motivated than ever to continue this work.

This week, we were honored to welcome Aneesha Ghaly, Chief Executive Officer of Rahway Community Action, to United Way of Greater Union County. After learning about our Cereal Drive, she stepped up to support our efforts to help combat summer hunger.

Thank you, Aneesha, for your partnership and your commitment to ensuring that children and families have access to nutritious food when school is out of session. Partnerships like this help us close the gap and remind us that we are stronger together.

Together, we can make sure no child starts their day hungry. 💙🥣 Community Action Organization

The need is greater than ever.

This morning, I arrived at the United Way of Greater Union County to find nearly 100 individuals and families already waiting outside our doors, each hoping today would be a little easier.

We hosted a Community Resource Giveaway, and every item was distributed in just 45 minutes. The demand was overwhelming—and a powerful reminder that many of our neighbors are struggling.

The good news? Together, we can lessen the load. For every dollar donated, 95 cents goes directly back into the community, helping provide essential programs and resources to those who need them most.

Thank you to everyone who supports our mission. Your generosity is creating hope and strengthening lives every single day.

Together, we can build stronger families and stronger communities.
