Funds Distribution

Each year, a group of volunteers from the seven counties we serve meet, visit and review the agencies funded through United Way of Northeast Mississippi.  This year there were a total of 140 volunteers our 7 counties, Tishomingo, Union, Chickasaw, Itawamba, Lee, Pontotoc, and Prentiss. These volunteers spend many hours meeting and visiting our agencies from December 2011 until February 2012.   There’s never seems to be quite enough funding to give every agency what it requests; and, since all of the agencies are worthwhile, it’s heartbreaking not to be able to do more.  In our present economy all the agencies have greater needs and it is the task of the funds distribution volunteers to see that the monies are distributed. More than ever, our agencies need your continued support. Just think about the number of people that your gift impacts through United Way and our agencies – we could not survive without you!

United Way is a vital part of your community. Again thanks volunteers for being a part of that – helping make the decisions of funding in your county. If you would like to be a funds distribution volunteer in 2012, email shelia@unitedwaynems.org .
