Business community gives back with United Way

The business community helped United Way reach their goal of packing 25,000 meals for the less fortunate.

The business community in the Fayetteville area has a reputation for uniting to help each other. Today, companies joined forces yet again to give back to the community by supporting United Way’s 2021 Campaign Kickoff event.

Held at Snyder Memorial Baptist Church, businesspeople from a variety of organizations masked up to support the cause. In years past, United Way has had chicken dinner fundraisers for its kickoffs, but this year, participants were invited to roll up their sleeves and pack meals for the less fortunate. Gathering around tables in masks, hair nets and gloves, volunteers packed bags of chicken-flavored rice with vegetables in an assembly line fashion.

Just a few of the many organizations represented at the event included PWC, FTCC, Holmes Security Systems, Beasley Media Group, Better Health and Greater Fayetteville Business Journal.

In less than two hours, United Way’s goal of 25,000 packed meals was met.
