The Volunteers Behind the Mission!

Each Fall, community volunteers hit the streets of Reno County on behalf of United Way, asking business owners and decision makers to help UWRC realize funding goals in support of non-profit work happening locally.

This group of dedicated individuals has historically been called the “campaign cabinet”. This season, UWRC decided to update the name of the group to the “Hype Squad”—as their role in community is truly to “hype” United Way and our work.

UWRC is incredibly grateful to these volunteers and we would love a moment to publicly thank them!
