The power of collaboration is what lifts our communities. When United Way of Greater Richmond & Petersburg partners with local businesses, we cultivate meaningful volunteer opportunities that directly support the needs of our nonprofit partners. A shining example of this is Travelers Insurance, whose employees nationwide joined forces at their Richmond office recently to assemble Personal Care Kits for GoochlandCares. This initiative not only provided essential items to neighbors in need but also strengthened the bond between teams and community service. GoochlandCares is dedicated to offering basic human services and health care to Goochland residents facing hardships. Learn how your organization can create tailored projects that enrich our community by visiting our volunteer page at yourunitedway.org.

Last week, Emily Watkins joined Voices for Virginia's Children at Healthy School Meals for All Advocacy Day, advocating for healthier school meals for students across our state. Real change starts with action. We’re here to be a voice that pushes for a better future and are grateful for community partners that keep pushing for what matters. #Catalyst #YourUnitedWay #Advocacy #CommunityImpact #UnitedWay

Thank you to all of those who attended our first ever Virginia Leadership Circle Lunch! It was my honor to recognize those employees who most eagerly supported our Stronger Together campaign last fall at this invitation-only event. Special guests from United Way of Greater Richmond & Petersburg and SouthState Bank included Barbara Sipe and Robert L Cowgill, who both spoke to our team about the importance of philanthropy. We are so fortunate to work for Enterprise Mobility where every dollar donated by our team is matched 50% by the Taylor family. Thanks again to our employees and guests for their generosity, it is making a difference in our communities! #iwork4em
