How Workplace Giving Impacts Our Community
As the 2024 calendar closed out, United Way of Iredell County took a minute to thank the thousands of individuals across Iredell County who participated in workplace efforts to create a stronger community.
The United Way is blessed to have so many strong corporations, foundations, faith communities and individual partners that enable all its work to support the health, education and financial stability of families across Iredell County. As Jeff Bardoni (2024-25 United Way Campaign Chair) likes to say: “It’s amazing what can be done when we work together as a community. Each of us contributing our time, resources, ideas and energy to creating a community where all of us have an opportunity to thrive. That’s what enabled United Way partners to impact 69,300 families during a time of need in the last year alone.”
The top 10 workplace campaigns in the 2024 calendar year:
- Iredell Health System sets the bar as the highest employee campaign in Iredell for the past several decades. This partnership has been in place since both organizations were founded in 1954. Just since 1996, the employees of Iredell Health System have raised more than 2.2 million dollars through this partnership for local non-profit organizations and the families they serve changing tens of thousands of lives for the better.
- John Green, President & CEO of Iredell Health System says: “What a testament to the caring hearts of our incredible team of employees. Our vision statement is to guide our neighbors to optimal health, and we know that is best served through working with our fellow non-profits in Iredell to best meet the wholistic needs of families. I am so proud be a part of this team with their ongoing focus on our community!
