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.”
For additional information, please call the main office at 530-241-7521, e-mail ronlargent@norcalunitedway.org or visit the web site at www.norcalunitedway.org.

What is United Way of Northern California All About?
Everyone deserves opportunities to have a good life: a quality education that leads to a stable job, enough income to support a family through retirement, and good health.
That’s why United Way’s work is focused on the building blocks for a good life:
* Education – Helping Children and Youth Achieve Their Potential
* Income – Promoting Financial Stability and Independence
* Health – Improving People’s Health
Advancing the common good is less about helping one person at a time and more about changing systems to help all of us. We are all connected and interdependent. We all win when a child succeeds in school, when families are financially stable, when people are healthy.
United Way’s goal is to create long-lasting changes by addressing the underlying causes of these problems. Living united means being a part of the change. It takes everyone in the community working together to create a brighter future. Give. Advocate. Volunteer. LIVE UNITED
