United Way of San Juan County Supports Community Groups

United Way of San Juan County allocated funds to 6 partner programs serving San Juan County residents. The allocations were made possible by donations during the 2024 United Way of San Juan County fundraising.

 “These allocations may help a child struggling in school, a cold-weather shelter for the homeless, a school food program for children who are hungry, or an elder needing help with transportation to remain independent in their home,” said UWSJC President William Morrissey. “Imagine the impact you can have with your donation. The number of needs continues to grow, but we are proud to live in a generous community that takes care of their own.”
