Campaign 2005
. . . . putting the pieces together . . . .

that's what matters.

Where there's a need there's a way, and at United Way of Greater Williamsburg
we're determined to find a way to meet the many challenges we face as a
community. Every day, the challenges grow and with the help of people like
you, we're able to make a difference every year for thousands of people
we call neighbors. The difference between hunger and health,
fear and fun, loneliness and a sense of common purpose.
The difference between the way things are and the way things can be.

Helping one child, one teen, one adult, one person at a time.
Now . . more than ever!
