Testimonials

Sara Bosse

Director – Madera County Department of Public Health

“A community-based organization like United Way has a lot of freedom to be able to fill in gaps where leadership in government organizations really finds a barrier to be able to enter into a space. And so the partnership between the two of us is really powerful.”

Dr. Deshunna Monay Ricks

Founder & CEO – I Am Valuable


“United Way has launched a Black Business Leaders Program. I am a part of that cohort where I am learning to be a better leader and healing from racial trauma. I’m also learning the ins-and-outs of being a business owner and how to build my business from the ground up.”

Ricardo Castorena

Executive Director – Binational of Central California

“Without the United way and their leadership and their ability to mobilize other organizations, we would never be able to help as many people as we do right now.”
