Make a Difference this New Year: Valley United Way

Instead of focusing on self-improvement this New Year, why not focus on improving the Valley?

Instead of focusing on self-improvement this New Year, why not focus on improving the Valley?

Valley United Way helps make steady advances in society by identifying and addressing common problems in the Valley and alleviating these issues through the funding of their 24 partner non-profits. We all have a stake in creating a healthy, prosperous community. It is our responsibility as community members to ensure a better and more stable tomorrow.

Valley United Way makes progress on improving the three building blocks for a good quality of life: education, income, and health. For a building to be stable for the long term, it needs a solid foundation. The same is true in a community, and the building blocks for a solid community are a strong public education system, economic prosperity and quality health care.

It takes an entire community to make a difference, and we need you. Make a difference this New Year.

Why is it the panel for this event does not include a single advocate for gun-owners' rights? WithRead More all due respect to Chief McNamara, why does the panel no include a person who can speak to gun safety from a gun-owning civilian's perspective? ML, you claim that the assembled folks "do not offer judgements about gun ownership" but they are not including a single voice that can offer perspective on gun ownership. I have been to "education" sessions sponsored by Meg's March for Change and they are one-sided indoctrinations into gun control advocacy. >>>> I was in Hartford for the public hearings in January when both Meg and March co-founder Nancy gave their personal testimonies and they all but threatened the legislators on the panel with election day retribution for all those who did not tow the gun-control line of thinking (i.e. March and CAGV). To suggest that Meg "does not offer judgements" is fallacious and disingenuous.
