Chairman Message
Many of you are probably aware of the saying “Charity Begins at Home”. I don’t want to imply that it should end here as well, but I do believe it is incumbent upon us to take care of our own. There are many needs in the Mitchell area and I am impressed every year with how we step up as a community and respond generously to help meet those needs. On behalf of Mitchell United Way and the agencies it supports, I would like to say thank you for your past, present, and future support whether it be financial or volunteering your time. Know that you are making a difference for many in need—here! Sincerely,
