Former United Way of Edgefield County Chairman Recognized


web posted March 9, 2009
COUNTY – Bob Welsh, former Chairman of the United Way of Edgefield County, has been recognized by the local United Way Board of Directors for lifetime of outstanding service to the community.

Welsh, who was instrumental in the founding of the local United Way more than 25 years ago and was its first Chairman, is now retired.  The Board recognized his vision and guidance that has helped bring the local United Way where it is today.

The plaque, presented by current Chairman Dean Campbell and Co-Chairman Ken Durham (also a past Chairman), reads: Thank you for your vision and commitment to the United Way of Edgefield County by the Board of Directors, March 2009.

“Bob’s never-quit attitude and devotion to helping others in our community is exemplary,” Campbell said.  “He worked diligently to establish a local United Way organization that continues to provide assistance to many less fortunate and those in need.”

The Edgefield County United Way is operated by a Board of volunteers and has almost no administrative cost, so money donated by citizens can go directly to programs supported. 

Some of the local programs supported by the United Way of Edgefield County include Edgefield County Churches Helping Others, Women in Unity, American Red Cross of Edgefield County, Edgefield County Senior Citizens Center, Johnston Food Bank, Cumbee Center for Abused Persons, local Boy Scouts and Girl Scouts, Helping Hands, Edgefield County First Steps, and MEG’s Shelter for Abused Women.  The local United Way also sponsors the Edgefield County 211 Help Line.
