BRIDGES SOCIETY
A century ago, they built bridges and tunnels to overcome what divides our region. Today, United Way of Southwestern Pennsylvania is building something even stronger—a vibrant network of young professionals and volunteers who choose to BE the type of community where they want to live.
I volunteer with United Way because It allows me to give back in a variety of ways. I have always been taught to give my time, talent and treasures to serve, and United Way allows me to do all three.
