 Over 75 donors and volunteers attended the 2009 Annual Meeting of MCUW. The event was sponsored by The Woodlands Development Company and held at The Woodlands Home Finders Center.
Joe Constantino of Bentwater United Way Leadership Committee, a neighborhood group that raises funds and provides volunteers for Montgomery County United Way, won the 2009 "Volunteer of the Year" award for his untiring efforts to participate in MCUW's Days of Caring program and the Responding to Crisis Impact Council. He and a group of Bentwater volunteers regularly donate their time and efforts to help area non-profits and individuals.

They also provide volunteer readers on a regular basis.
