United Fund of Surry had hoped to raise a $500,000 during this year’s campaign, but they exceeded that goal. “Our current total for donations is just over $531,000,” said Melissa Hiatt, executive director of the nonprofit. “With our community’s generosity we will be able to help our neighbors in need through our 26 agencies.” The agencies assist more than 29,000 residents of Surry County.

“Each year, the cost-of-living rises, and housing is a huge need in Surry County,” said Hiatt.
