The Darke County United Way is proud to announce that CenturyLink corporation and employees raised $2,427 for the United Way campaign. CenturyLink’s strong support of its corporation and wonderful employees make a positive difference in the lives of our neighbors in need. CenturyLink’s corporation is matching a portion of employee gifts this year through the CenturyLink Clarke M. Williams Foundation. This year the staff welcomed Lauren Henry from United Way for presentations as well as Sharon Fellers from Grace Resurrection Community Center to learn more about the different programs and their work throughout the community. Sharon spoke about GRCC and their food pantry funded in part by the United Way. She also spoke of their soup kitchen, clothing bank, medical assistance and backpack nutrition program for kids in Darke County.

CenturyLink also provides volunteer leadership for the United Way and corporate sponsorship for United Way events during the year. On behalf of the Darke County United Way Board of Directors, we would like to give a big thank you to CenturyLink and their wonderful staff for strengthening health, education and stability in this community. Darke County United Way served over 24,000 residents last year through their 28 non-profit health and human service programs in the county.
