OUR MESSAGE TO THE
COMMUNITY
Dear Friends,
Y U
and give and give then give some more. It is through our
community’s generosity that we are able to help thousands
of people in Palm Beach County.
“GROWING UP
AS A POOR FIRST
GENERATION
IMMIGRANT GAVE ME A
CLEAR AND FIRSTHAND
UNDERSTANDING OF
WHY AGENCIES LIKE
THE TOWN OF PALM
BEACH UNITED WAY
ARE SO IMPORTANT
TO THE COMMUNITIES
WE SERVE. WITHOUT
THE SUPPORT FROM
AGENCIES LIKE THE
UNITED WAY I MAY NOT
HAVE ENDED UP IN A
POSITION WHERE I CAN
NOW GIVE BACK.”
Ever since the Town of Palm Beach United Way was created in 1945, our
mission has been to respond to the most urgent needs of our community.
During this time, we have supported this worthy mission with your time,
talent and treasure. You have allowed us to provide the means through
which our partner agencies can effectively and efficiently help the hungry,
homeless, ill, and others who seek a hand up.
The collective philanthropy is a cherished source of pride for all of us at
the United Way. It is an undeniable source of inspiration that we draw
upon to be our best and do our best for those in need.
Your unwavering support and confidence in us, and this wonderful
community, are what has allowed the Town of Palm Beach United Way to
prosper over the past 72 years.
Please accept our thanks to those who day in and day out work to build
a stronger Palm Beach County – who share our vision for what is possible
and a passion for making it happen. Only through collective action can
we solve some of our biggest challenges. With you by our side, we can
build a thriving community in which we all want to live, work, and raise
our families, today and for generations to come.
