“United Way has always shown up when our community needs us most, and this moment is no different,” Michael Williamson, UWSELA president and CEO, said. “The shutdown’s effects will ripple through families, local economies and the nonprofit organizations already stretched thin supporting those in need. We’re stepping up to fill the gaps and encourage other to join us.”
