We’re looking to upgrade United Way’s website and we'd love to keep it local, affordable, and easy to manage—perfect for our nonprofit needs! Our current platform, has served us well, but we’re ready to take things to the next level with a solution that better reflects our local impact and makes it easier for us to connect with YOU, our amazing community. If you have recommendations, expertise, or resources to help us make this happen, we’d love to hear from you! Let’s work together to create a website that’s as inspiring as the work we do together. Drop your suggestions in the comments or DM us! #UnitedWay #CommunitySupport #NonprofitWebsite #TechForGood #LocalImpact

Jennifer dives into the incredible benefits of taking learning beyond the walls of a classroom — from boosting student engagement to fostering environmental awareness and responsibility — and offers practical tips to make it a reality. Don’t miss this must-read for educators, parents, and anyone passionate about innovative teaching methods!

We're excited to welcome Brandy June Flowers as our new Campaign & Fundraising Director at United Way of Northwest Alabama! June brings a wealth of experience from her years in nonprofit operations and procurement, paired with a genuine passion for supporting children, families, and anyone who needs a helping hand. She discovered her love for community work as a high school volunteer, and she's been hooked on making a difference ever since. Outside of work, June is an avid reader, enthusiastic DIYer, and proud parent of two amazing kids (plus an adorably sweet dog who tries his best). After nearly 20 years in Florence, she's grateful every day to be raising her family in such a generous and compassionate community. June is thrilled to be part of the United Way team, and she’s eager to connect with volunteers, local businesses, and community members—learning about your stories and experiences, and seeing firsthand the incredible impact we can achieve together. June is truly a light, and we feel incredibly fortunate to have her not only representing us at United Way but also being in our close proximity. Her energy and passion will undoubtedly make a positive impact on our work and community. Let’s give her a warm welcome!
