Nine organizations which serve Warren County were recently selected as partner non-profits to receive part of $60,000 which will be distributed by the United Way of Highway 55 (UWHWY55). The organization, serving Warren, Coffee and Moore counties, operates with the belief that our neighbors deserve a chance to succeed and live a vibrant life in the area we call home. The United Way works to help build strong commuities by focusing on supporting four areas: Education, income, health and essentials.
