You Can't Quarantine Kindness

Feeling the Love!

Dear Friends, Since the start of COVID-19 in mid-March, the United Way of Tri-County's three food pantries and two cafés have seen an enormous increase in new visitors. Due to the generous support from people in our communities, we have been able to keep everyone sustained with healthy foods and nutritious meals, but the need continues as we move forward into more weeks of closures and stay-at-home advisories. Numbers continue growing as things remain uncertain and more people are unemployed or working reduced hours.
