OPINION

OUR VIEW: United, there is always a way

There’s little doubt that everyone has at least heard of the United Way. This volunteer-led worldwide organization began locally in 1932, as the Community Chest of Columbia County. It came under the umbrella of the United Way in the 1990s and has worked steadily to work jointly with volunteers and local agencies to ensure either the continuation or creation of much-needed human services programs.
