(Mount Airy, NC)   With less than seven weeks remaining in this year’s campaign, the United Fund of Surry is just 31% shy of its goal to raise $500,000.  Monies raised through the annual campaign help support 26 member agencies who provide assistance to over 26,000 residents of Surry County.  

“Each year the cost of doing business keeps increasing for our member agencies, and that means they need increasing financial support from United Fund of Surry,” said executive director Melissa Hiatt.  “That’s why we need everyone to step up to the plate now and help us meet our goal.” 

 According to Melissa, the number of workplace campaigns declined during the pandemic because so many employees worked from home. Now that things are getting back to normal, she urges businesses to ramp up their efforts to invest in their community by making it easy for   employees to give.    

"A workplace campaign is very easy to run and is a one-time ask for employees to give through payroll deduction. It’s a win-win because employees can give to the United Fund of Surry and receive a tax credit,” said Hiatt.

 The mission of United Fund of Surry is to strengthen and serve the community by helping to meet the needs of our neighbors. “We strive to make our community a healthy, happier, safer place to live for people of all ages,” said Hiatt.
