Many Pasco County dignitaries were in attendance to show support for charity organization that is basically run by volunteers, people just like you, committed to advancing the common good in Pasco County. It is the volunteers, residents from all walks of life that make the decisions on what non-profit organizations and programs will receive the funds raised by the United Way. What does advancing the common good in Pasco County mean? It means partnering with 24 worthy non-profit agencies in our community who are doing the important work of helping kids succeed, finding ways to help our residents become financially stable and working hard to ensure that our youth right on up to our elderly have access to quality healthcare and any other service they require to build a good life.
