Brittany Saxton, Owner of Six Hundred Downtown, will serve as the 2023 United Way Campaign Chair.
"It's super important to look at United Way when you think about giving in your community because it's such a hub of so many different organizations," Saxton says. "There are so many impactful ways United Way really alleviates the stresses local families face, with insecurities about where necessities are coming from. United Way is a resource where you can send anybody who is struggling in life, and it's a solution, or at least, a help to get to that bridge. It's really nice to have that in our local community and know that so many facets of need are getting taken care of."

RUN A UNITED WAY WORKPLACE CAMPAIGN THIS FALL!
The idea of having a "United Fund" to support local needs spread to Logan County in 1955 when area business leaders joined together to offer a giving opportunity for their employees. The tradition of giving via payroll deduction at work continues to this day and the annual United Way campaign is still the largest communitywide fundraiser in Logan County. The workplace campaign is at the heart of that effort. Today, more than 40 local workplaces participate, extending the giving opportunity to their employees and accounting for roughly 75 percent of our annual support.
