"In moving around the country, I have witnessed the positive impact that United Way is having on each community we have lived in. United Way has touched my life at home, at work, and in my family. This is an organization that provides leadership and funding to the many agencies and service organizations that improve the quality of life for those who need it the most in Story County. It is a privilege to have the opportunity to serve on the UWSC Board of Directors and give both my time and financial support to a very effective organization." |

Chris Snyder
Proliant
"I am reminded in little ways every day why I support the United Way of Story County. For example, every time I look into my children's eyes, hear about challenges faced by a military family with a loved one in the war, or read about an unmet need in our Story County community, I am reminded. I know that while many in Story County have an abundance of blessings to count, there are more than a few that need our help. In my opinion, United Way of Story County is the best way to know that no matter how much you give, you can be sure that the people in our community are getting the help they need, both today and in the future." |
