Celebrating a "Decade of Service"
During 2008, the United Way of Hood County is celebrating ten years of continuous service to the people of Hood County. On May 15th over 100 people gathered to applaud individuals and businesses who have contributed to the success of United Way. A special recogniation was given to Luminate, Inc. (previously TXU) who has contributed $560,000 over the past ten years. Their family of employees has worked together raising the funds and then sharing their successful fund raising efforts with Hood County's United Way. This donation over the past ten years, has played a major role in helping UWHC be able to put over $2 million dollars into the partner agencies and emergency needs serving Hood County.
Mission Statement
The United Way of Hood County To increase the organized capacity of people to care for one another in Hood County.
Vision Statement
To meet current and emerging needs in Hood County that are best met through voluntarism by uniting contributors, providers and users of human services in a voluntary and cooperative effort through fund raising campaign, programs and planning and evaluation, and distribution of funds to participating agencies.
Our 2008 Partner Agencies will be receiving more than $187,000 this year. Agencies serving Hood County are:
American Red Cross Chisholm Trail Chapter
Boys & Girls Club of Hood County
Camp Fire USA First Texas Council
Cancer Care Services
Child Advocacy

Hood County Children's Charity Fund, Inc.
Hood County Christmas for Children, Inc.
Hood County Committee on Aging
Hood County 4-H
Hood/Erath Fpster Parent Association
Mission Granbury,Inc.
Operation School Supplies
Salvation Army
Again it is the goal of the Board of Directors for the United Way of Hood County, to always spend .99 cents of every dollar YOU give right here in HOOD COUNTY. Our special event in September is set aside and advertised as a fund raiser especially for operational expenses. This is important to every one that gives....YOU give to your neighbor! through the Partner Agencies and thru additional funds UWHC donates during emergencies such as flooding, fires, special emergency program funding, and start-up funds for new needed programs during a budget year.
We will be giving you information on all upcoming events, and will let you know when our new website is ready to link on for updated information and also a way to donate on-line.
Thanks,
