United Fund of Covington County is making one final push at being able to fund its agencies in the current year.

United Fund president Amanda Davis Wardle said this week that to date, United Fund only raised $94,000 of its $120,000 goal for 2015. Before it begins seeking pledges for 2016, it has the final quarter to fund this year.
