Congratulations to Amy Brown, director, talent management at First Onsite, our August Summer of Service drawing winner! As the winner, Amy had the opportunity to designate a nonprofit to receive a $500 donation, and she and her team selected United Way of Tarrant County (UWTC)—an organization that is important to them because of the meaningful support it provides to individuals and families throughout their community.
“Our HRBP team chose the United Way of Tarrant County as the recipient of our donation following our recent volunteer experience with the organization,” explained Amy. “After volunteering together and learning more about the work United Way is doing throughout the Fort Worth community, we asked the HRBP team to vote on where they would like the donation to go. The team collectively selected United Way because of the meaningful impact they are making and because we had the opportunity to experience and contribute to their work firsthand. We’re grateful for the opportunity to give back to the Fort Worth community and support the continued work of United Way of Tarrant County.”
For more than a century, United Way of Tarrant County has worked to strengthen communities across North Texas by connecting people with resources and bringing organizations together to address some of the region’s most pressing needs.
Its work focuses on education and youth opportunity, community health, financial security and community resiliency. Through its programs and community partnerships, UWTC helps children and families access essential resources, supports veterans and military families, assists older adults and caregivers, promotes financial stability and helps communities respond and recover when disaster strikes.
At the heart of its work is a simple idea: when a community comes together, it can make a greater difference. We’re proud to support United Way of Tarrant County with this $500 Summer of Service donation—and grateful to Amy and the First Onsite team for helping direct support to an organization making an impact close to home.
