United Way for Southeastern Michigan Recognized in Macomb for 100 Years of Service

In recognition of United Way for Southeastern Michigan's centennial milestone, Chairman Bob Smith and members of the Macomb County Commission presented a resolution to United Way President and CEO Dr. Herman Gray. United Way serves residents in Oakland, Wayne, and Macomb, where the organization funds nearly 20 partner agencies offering a variety of services and programs in that community.

Earlier this year, United Way for Southeastern kicked off its milestone with the launch of a new online volunteer portal. Since that time, more than 1,000 volunteers have signed up to help make our communities a better place for us all.

Additional United Way festivities are also planned to celebrate its centennial including:

• Hosting a social media contest in October aimed at helping United Way reach 10,000 Facebook followers. Once the goal is met, followers will be randomly selected to win prizes.

• Hosting a benefit gala, a first for United Way, early next year.
