THANK YOU, BERKS COUNTY!
In an outstanding show of support, Berks Countians surpassed our $10.75 million goal to contribute $11,057,115 to the 2025 Campaign.
Campaign co-chairs Angel and Scott Helm shared their appreciation at our Victory Celebration. “What an amazing journey this has been,” they said. “We have met and worked with the best people in our community. All are driven by a strong community spirit and the desire to improve people’s lives.”
“2025 has been an exciting year, as we’ve celebrated United Way’s 100th anniversary,” United Way Board Chair Joni Naugle said to donors. “We are deeply grateful to each of you for your commitment to carrying our work forward.”
All dollars raised in the 2025 Campaign will support health and human service needs in the coming year, impacting 190,000 local people.
