United Way of Richmond County History
In 1887, Denver, Colorado, a group of civic leaders organized the first United Way campaign. The Charity Organization Society, as it was called, raised $21,700 for 22 agencies. The idea spread quickly to other cities. By 1948, the United Way movement had grown to include more than 1,000 communities across the United States.
The United Way of Richmond County has been serving Richmond County, NC since 1965. Our organization is dedicated to improving lives by mobilizing the caring power of our community. We work with local agencies and volunteers to address the most critical needs in our area.
