FUNDRAISING FOR OUR COMMUNITY
The COVID-19 Relief Fund provides immediate assistance to people in our community.
This year, we've all been affected by the global pandemic.
This year, we've all been affected by the global pandemic.
Southwest Georgia, our home, was hit hard early on by COVID-19. Even before the pandemic, many families in our community struggled economically.
Recent shutdowns and layoffs have made it even harder for many of our neighbors to make rent, buy groceries, and pay utility bills.

This year, all funds raised will go to the United Way of Southwest Georgia's COVID-19 Relief Fund. Since the onset of the pandemic, United Way of Southwest Georgia has provided 23 nonprofits with grants for emergency relief, totaling $425,000 and serving over 84,000 residents throughout the region by providing assistance with rent, emergency shelter, and grocery & utility bills, among other services. As of July 31, all rent/mortgage and utility assistance funds have been exhausted. Despite challenges, they continue to actively work with community partners to respond & adapt to community needs as the situation continues to change.
