United Way of South Hampton Roads Invests Over $12M in the Community

United Way of South Hampton Roads will invest over $12 million into the community in 2019.

Nearly $3.1 million is given to community agencies and programs that align with UWSHR’s two collective impact initiatives: Mission United, which serves veterans, and United for Children, which serves kids.
