Northumberland United Way announces its 2022-2023 funded Community Partners.
“We have seen an unprecedented need this year from organizations throughout Northumberland County,” says Bobbie Dawson, CEO, Northumberland United Way. “We are very grateful for the generosity of local residents who have made it possible to provide funding to some very essential programs and services locally.”
Each year, Northumberland United Way invests in local programs and services through its annual Community Impact Funding to support those most vulnerable in the community.
