This month's spotlight goes to the United Way of Greater High Point (UWGHP)!
The United Way of Greater High Point (UWGHP) is a nonprofit organization dedicated to improving the lives of individuals and families in High Point, Archdale, Trinity, and Jamestown. UWGHP's mission is to develop resources and partnerships that make a measurable difference in people’s lives. Through a focus on education, financial stability, and health, UWGHP partners with 25 agencies to fund programs that make a measurable difference in the community. By uniting individuals and organizations, UWGHP strives to build a stronger and more resilient community for all.
UWGHP is also celebrating 90 years of service and impact in the Greater High Point community this year! Since 1935, United Way of Greater High Point has been a cornerstone of support, fostering meaningful change through collaboration and compassion.
Latoya Bullock, UWGHP's Vice President of Community Impact, says, "At United Way of Greater High Point, we’re deeply committed to building a stronger, healthier community—starting with making sure our neighbors don’t go hungry. This May, we partnered with local post offices and letter carriers for the National Association of Letter Carriers’ annual food drive, collecting thousands of pounds of food to support more than 10 local pantries serving families in need. At the same time, we’re proud to be providing weekend meals to over 2,000 food-insecure students across the Greater High Point area through our United Way BackPack Program. These students rely on school meals during the week, and this initiative helps ensure they don’t go hungry over the weekend. We’re especially grateful to The Salvation Army of High Point for being our lead packing partner in this effort. These programs reflect our broader mission—to unite people and resources to improve lives in our community—and show what’s possible when we all come together with compassion and purpose." Thank you, Latoya!
