Introducing the United Way Centennial Park
Thanks to our dedicated supporters and volunteers, the United Way of Central Alabama has positively impacted the lives of Central Alabama residents for over a century. Our commitment to service continues as we introduce Centennial Parks in all six counties we proudly serve. Centennial Parks in each of the six counties that we serve.
These projects center around the construction of Centennial Parks, fostering long-term partnerships and extending beyond mere installation. Through annual cleanups, beautification efforts, and the potential for future expansions, we strive to create ongoing volunteer service opportunities within each local community.
