United Way Of Carroll Supports COVID-19 Relief Efforts And More

The United Way of Carroll has been supporting local agencies and programs for the benefit of county residents since 1976, and they are stepping up to help out during the COVID-19 pandemic and beyond. They have provided emergency funding to the Community of Concern Food Pantry and the Carroll County Nest to address increased needs during the coronavirus outbreak as well as supporting 15 other agencies in 2020. These range from day care centers and Kellan’s Kingdom all-inclusive playground and the Miracle Field to home care, school districts, senior programs and Catholic Charities. A full listing of this year’s projects can be found below. The United Way of Carroll fundraises throughout the year to assist in these efforts and everyone is encouraged to find out more about how they can help by logging on to their Facebook page for more information. A link to that is also included here.
