"I joined Women United many years ago and continue to be encouraged and inspired by the women I work with. As a former educator, I was most interested in WU’s literacy efforts. I can honestly say Women United does so much. In short, our organization provides home books for elementary students; conduct parenting workshops; support new mothers through our Welcome Baby initiative; and establish home lending libraries throughout Utah County. As our mission statement says, “We use our strengths, means, and passion to lift others.” Come join us. You can help inspire change!"

"I have been serving as the President of Women United for the past 2.5 years. I love being part of this organization. I love the service opportunities I am exposed to and the wonderful women who come together to serve. It has been an opportunity to connect with some fascinating women and give back to this community in a variety of ways: reading in public schools, sub for santa, welcome baby volunteer to name a few. There is power in uniting women. I love being part of Women United!"

"I have always been interested in Community Service. I am often looking at the United Way website for new ideas to serve. One day as I was perusing the United Way website, I came across the opportunity to deliver books to schools. Children's books and teaching are passions of mine (I am a substitute teacher) and this opportunity sounded like one I wanted to try. I expressed my interest on the site and was contacted by Holly Kent (United Way Staff) to help with labeling and delivering the books. As I attended some Women United activities, learned about the mission and vision, and met the women with whom I would be serving, I knew I had found a great opportunity. I enjoy helping promote literacy in the community as well as working with women who share my same interests."
