United Way Grants Totaling Almost $25K Awarded to Chilton County Nonprofits
A dozen Chilton County nonprofit agencies were awarded a total of almost $25,000 by a United Way of Central Alabama (UWCA) board made up of people exclusively from that county on Monday during an afternoon gathering at Butterfly Bridge Children’s Advocacy Center, itself a UWCA partner agency.
“Each of these agencies are touching lives in different ways,” said Shannon Hamilton, Administrator at UAB St. Vincent’s Chilton. “We can’t all do it through healthcare, but we can all do it together. We impact the lives of the people that we’re around every day.”
United Way Grants Totaling $25K Awarded to Shelby County Nonprofits
A total of $25,000 was awarded to 16 Shelby County nonprofit agencies by a United Way of Central Alabama (UWCA) advisory board made up of people exclusively from that county.
Shelby County Commissioner Kevin Morris, who is Co-Chair of the United Way County Advisory Board (CAB) for Shelby County, was among the several community members tasked with selecting which agencies to fund out of the many applications.
Morris, who is also incoming CEO (effective March 2025) of America’s First Federal Credit Union, said that the need for human services in Shelby County is often overlooked, but the fact is that families all over Central Alabama need support.
