WebsterRogers and WebsterRogers Financial Advisor team members were excited to participate in United Way of Florence County’s (UWFC) 31^st Annual Day of Caring on Friday, September 16, 2022.

The Day of Caring event brings hundreds of individuals, groups, and businesses together to support the Florence community by completing projects such as painting, landscaping, cleaning, and renovating for partner agencies.  Monica Perry, Zack Morgan, Gordon Lewallen, Danielle Cannon, Alison Swaggard, Julianna Barfield, Lindsay Floyd, and Dresden Lamb spent the morning and early afternoon refreshing the interior paint of a local agency.

This year, 26 businesses participated to complete approximately 60 projects for Florence County nonprofit organizations.  UWFC President Cameron Packett recently announced an upcoming transition for the organization from the standard community chest business model to collective impact. “We’ll become more strategic about our community investments – focusing on the most pressing issues in the areas of education, health, and financial stability. In addition to funding key programs, we’ll also take on collaborative community projects and develop our own initiatives to provide direct services where gaps exist”, Packett states.  Visit the United Way of Florence County website to learn more about what the organization is doing in Florence and neighboring communities.
