In March of 2020, Yavapai County was faced with unprecedented challenges brought on by the COVID-19 pandemic. Numerous nonprofit agencies were trying to meet the growing needs of their communities while having to close down or cancel their main revenue streams. United Way of Yavapai County took quick action by offering a COVID-19 Emergency Response Fund, which awarded over $112,000 to 23 agencies. It has been UWYC’s privilege to provide support and stability during these uncertain times.
