2026 American Fork Chamber of Commerce Awards and Installation Ceremony

In February 2026, the United Way Center in American Fork was honored to receive the American Fork Mayor’s Award. This recognition, coming just after our one year anniversary, truly means the world to us. Our efforts to serve our community will continue to grow!

The United Way Community Center is recognized with the American Fork Mayor’s Award for its role as a trusted hub for community support and coordination. Through its commitment to partnership, accessibility, and long-term impact, the Center plays an essential role in strengthening American Fork and supporting the people who call it home,” – Council Member Ryan Hunter.

The United Way Community Center in American Fork wouldn’t be possible without our partnership with @txinstruments employees and the Texas Instruments Foundation. Thank you, TI team, for believing in this vision and helping us build something that will benefit local families. Here’s to continued collaboration and community impact!

With a new community center, we are looking to share this with as many people as possible, especially those located in American Fork and the Utah County area. Follow us on social media to stay up to date.
