Planting the Seeds of Greatness

What makes something great? Is it reach? Is it sustainability? Is it the ability to create dynamic, positive changes?

 30thFor three decades, United Way of Hays County has spent time developing these qualities.This year marks the 30th Anniversary of United Way of Hays County. In 1983, UWHC founders planted the seeds of greatness. Since then, United Way of Hays County has worked to build stronger families and a successful community. Each year, we celebrate those individuals and businesses that have contributed to the successes of UWHC, and the growth and change we work towards for our neighbors and friends.

During 2013, we are asking our friends, neighbors, supporters and contributors to join us in Planting the Seeds of Greatness.
