United Fund needs our support

Published 1:07am Saturday, October 20, 2012

A few dedicated volunteers are working to help the Covington County United Fund raise $120,000 for 22 area agencies to operate in 2013.

Local residents are urged to pledge the equivalent of one hour’s pay per month to the organization. This is a great way to support many local causes with one easy donation. Monies raised this year will support:

• The Covington County Chapter of the American Red Cross

• Boy Scouts

• Andalusia Ministerial Association

• Lucille Pierce Family Literacy Center

• Covington County Imagination Library

• Covington County Adult Training Center

• Covington County 4-H Clubs

• Opp Meals on Wheels

• Andalusia, Covington County, and Opp youth sports

• SAFE of Covington County

• Andalusia Community Christmas

• Andalusia, Florala and Opp public libraries

• Opportunity House

• Crossover Ministries

• Governor’s Committee on Persons with Disabilities

• Sav-A-Life Pregnancy Resource Center

• Opp Benevolence Fund

• Beyond Measure Ministries

Checks should be made payable to Covington County United Fund, and can be mailed to P.O. Box 1791, Andalusia, AL 36420.
