Special to IFN
As 2024 winds down, the United Way of Iredell County is expressing its gratitude to the thousands of individuals across the county who have participated in workplace efforts to create a stronger community.
The United Way is blessed to have so many strong corporations, foundations, faith communities and individual partners that enable the work the nonprofit does to support the health, education and financial stability of families across Iredell County.
As Jeff Bardon, the 2024-25 United Way campaign chair, likes to say: “It’s amazing what can be done when we work together as a community, each of us contributing our time, resources, ideas and energy to creating a community where all of us have an opportunity to thrive. That’s what enabled United Way partners to impact 69,300 families during a time of need in the last year alone.”
