“I ‘LIVE UNITED’ because I have always believed that it is important to give back to the community. I have been involved with United Way for over 25 years in various capacities. The United Way is my choice because it is an outstanding organization that has a long history of meeting a variety of needs across a multitude of areas. This year’s needs assessment is a good example of United Way staying in touch with the needs of the community and creating an organization designed to reach out to all types of people needing help.”

Elizabeth Smoot (General Manager, Northern Virginia Daily)
“I ‘LIVE UNITED,’ because as the sheriff for the City of Winchester you know first hand about serving others. Our community needs the services of the United Way for so many things. I have seen the organizations that the United Way has helped through the giving of others and have found that our community is willing to help others when they are in a time of need. I feel strong about the support for local initiatives that impact the lives of folks in our community. Giving back truly helps strengthen our community.”
