RIVER REGION UNITED WAY
Mission : To improve lives and strengthen our communities by identifying needs and solving critical problems .
Background : The River Region United Way has been serving the community for 100 years ! In 1923 , the Community Chest of Montgomery was established to address the needs of the community . The first campaign raised $ 50,000 and was distributed back into the community to fulfill these needs . In 1952 , it became the United Appeal of Montgomery to serve as a fundraising organization for local social service agencies . It was determined that these agencies were helping more areas around Montgomery , which led to the name being changed to Montgomery Area United Appeal in 1969 . In 1976 , it became the Montgomery Area United Way , and the four pillars of assess , acquire , account and allocate were established . In 2004 , the name became River Region United Way , focusing on health , education , financial stability and basic needs . From 1923 to now , the focus has been on community needs , and how we can help our neighbors . Our Community Partner Agencies work hard to help address the needs .
