Small Business Spotlight
Small businesses play a critical role in maintaining a thriving local economy. They are no less important to the success of United Way, as we endeavor to improve lives through our work in education, income, and health. Our Small Business Partners are an important, growing family of donors, who are vital to helping us meet the needs of the community. 

This week, we are highlighting Joe Lowry, Managing Partner of Lowry Financial Advisors. Read More
