News Release on United Way

United Way of Northern California Adds Butte and Glenn Counties to its Service Territory

At the request of United Way Worldwide, United Way of Northern California has added Butte and Glenn Counties to its service territory.

The announcement was made by Ron Largent, President and CEO of United Way of Northern California based in Redding, CA. The Butte and Glenn County agencies will continue to work closely with a local Butte and Glenn Board of Advisors made up of members from all communities in the counties. In addition, agencies that are not currently a partner agency with United Way are encouraged to make an application for funds in the three United Way focus-target areas: Education, Income, and Health.

“Our goals,” Largent said, “are to improve management, to enable United Way to acquire greater resources and to provide a wider range of services to a larger geographical area. We want to maximize the benefits to those we serve by addressing the basic needs of our communities in both Butte and Glenn Counties. We think this re-organization is a very good step in that direction.”
