Making an impact starts with people who care! A big THANK YOU to the members of United Way of Wayne County’s Community Impact Committee representing our Financial Stability focus area! We are grateful for their time, dedication, and willingness to share their professional experience, knowledge, and passion for our community. Their insight and commitment help us make thoughtful, informed decisions that move our community forward. So, what does the Community Impact Committee do? These dedicated volunteers review funding applications, conduct agency site visits, hear program presentations, evaluate community needs, and ultimately make funding recommendations to our Board of Directors. Their work helps ensure that resources are invested in programs making a meaningful difference in the lives of individuals and families throughout Wayne County. Their service is more than reviewing applications—it’s about understanding our community, recognizing needs, and helping create pathways to greater stability.

The Wayne County Chamber of Commerce WISE Meet Up at Wayne Community College

Attending the Partnership For Children of Wayne County/Smart Start Annual meeting this morning and grateful for the work in early childhood they provide. Thank you Rep. John Bell for advancing their work.

Committee training in action. Huge thanks to more than 40 community volunteers serving on the Community Impact Committee. These volunteers review grant applications, make site visits and make recommendations to the Board for funding.

Leadership is about more than setting a vision—it’s about showing up, listening, and helping turn that vision into action. We captured a few of our United Way of Wayne County Board members at our recent Issue Focus Transformation Summit. Together, we are addressing the root causes of instability and working toward our bold goal of empowering 12,000 people to achieve financial stability by 2035. That’s leadership with purpose. That’s United Way making a difference!

Our Major Investor & Sponsor, Goldsboro Builders Supply & Family of Companies is treating the community and you are invited!
