ORGANIZATIONAL & FINANCIAL INFORMATION
Q1. Mission:
United Way of Central West Virginia established a COVID–19 Response & Recovery Fund in early March 2020. As a result of your generosity, we were able to make grants totaling over $150,000 to 50 nonprofit agencies in Kanawha, Putnam, Boone, Clay and Logan counties. Since then we’ve been working 24 hours a day, 7 days a week to identify needs, fill service gaps and be a reliable source of assistance to our communities. We continue to deliver essential supplies to hundreds of families. We’re still feeding thousands through food distribution events. We’re keeping the lights on, water flowing and families safely housed. We’re providing reliable transportation to those in recovery. Calls and texts to WV 2-1-1 for information and referrals continue to climb. And with the support of partner agencies, we’re helping our most vulnerable populations with basic needs. As new challenges unfold, United Way remains your trusted resource of resources.
Q2. How organization aligns with ARC’s Plan & Goals:
What we do as United Way does align with the goals of the ARC to work tirelessly increase the education, knowledge, skills, and health of residents to work and succeed in Appalachia. Without foundational support of basic needs, we know that residents lose hope.

Q10. Negative Impacts from COVID-19:
The pandemic has created opportunity to align more closely with agencies we support and to rely heavily on our staff and volunteers to get the job done. Negatively, the current situation continues to hamper our fundraising efforts, as we realize more and more that a return to “business as usual” is not on the horizon for many medium to large companies. Special events, large gatherings, open houses are all things of the past. Making sure families remain fed, housed and safe is the present.
Q11. Top Three Concerns:
Economic downturn in counties we serve, downsizing across companies
Survival of smaller non-profit agencies
Increase demand for services
How Participation in Program Will Address Concerns:
The opportunity to share best practices and learn new methods will surely refresh our staff to prepare for a tough 4th quarter and even harder year ahead.
