JODEE GARRETSON, Pasco

Because of the generosity of our community, we are fortunate to have many resources and agencies available to help in our times of need. Whether a family is in crisis, a child is being abused, an elderly person is in need of assistance or a person with disabilities is seeking employment -- there is a United Way agency able to help.

As executive director of the Support, Advocacy & Resource Center, I know the United Way does an excellent job raising funds to secure services for those of us in need. Thank you to our most giving community for supporting the United Way and the critical programs many rely upon.
