For seventy-three years, YOUR United Way of Lamar County has committed to improving lives here in Lamar County! Since September 13, 2015, our volunteers have raised over $594,330 – just over 99% of the needed funds to meet our 2016 Campaign Goal.
This total virtually meets our goal and we are still tallying several major donations. If you missed the final report, make sure you join us February 17, 2016, when we report the final total of our 2016 Annual Campaign!!
100% of our $600,000 Campaign Goal will go toward Community Impact Grants, awarded to our 21 Partner Agencies: American Red Cross, Big Brothers Big Sisters, Boys and Girls Club, Boy Scouts NETSEO, Children’s Advocacy Center, Dylan’s Drivers, ETCADA, Girl Scouts NETX, Habitat for Humanity, Imagination Library, Lakes Regional MHMR – Innovative Enterprises, LC Child Welfare Board, LC Coalition of Education, Business & Industry, LC Human Resource Council, LC Literacy Council, New Hope Center, RRV Down Syndrome Society, RSVP, SAFE-T, The King’s Daughters & Sons, & The Salvation Army.

At United Way we provide funding, advocacy, volunteers and support to 21 local agencies. The agencies are held accountable by providing local outcomes and demonstrating responsible spending.
