Since the earliest times, Americans have joined together to help each other and to strengthen their communities.  Our deep-rooted spirit of caring, of neighbor helping neighbor, has become an American way of life.  In the Concho Valley, the United Way has played an integral part in the lives of thousands of people since its inception in 1925.  Those who need assistance receive help from programs provided by local agencies that are supported by the United Way.  We are asking the residents of the Concho Valley to continue this tradition and to "Be There" for those less fortunate in our community by making a donation to the United Way.
